Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Just second win in last nine starts
Skinner made 26 saves in a 4-3 shootout win over the Senators on Thursday.
It was Skinner's second win in a nine-game span dating back to Feb. 3. He is 2-2-5 in that period. In contrast, his platoon mate Arturs Silovs is 6-3-0 in nine starts in the same period. The Pens are committed to this platoon, but the Skinner side is clearly the weaker half. The team will want to hold onto second in the Metropolitan, especially if Sidney Crosby, who suffered a lower-body injury in the game, is out of commission for long.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Seven multi-point games in last 10
Karlsson had a goal and two assists in a 4-3 shootout win over the Senators. He fired eight shots.
Karlsson has seven multi-point games in his last 10 outings; he was held off the scoresheet in the other three outings. One of the assists Thursday came on the power play, where he has 22 power-play points. Karlsson has 12 goals, 45 assists and 160 shots in 67 games, which projects to 65 points on the season. That would be his best output since 2022-23 (101 points) and second-best to his halcyon days in Ottawa (2016-17; 71 points).

Rakell has six goals and eight assists in his last 11 games. He has fired 24 shots and was held off the scoresheet just once in that span. It was Rakell's first three-point game of the season and first since Dec. 23, 2024. The winger has 17 goals, 22 assists, five power-play goals, eight power-play assists, 137 shots and 66 hits in 51 games this season.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Dealing with LBI
Crosby is dealing with a lower-body injury after leaving Thursday's game versus the Senators, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
No further details were provided, leaving Crosby's status for Saturday versus the Stars in doubt. The 38-year-old will likely be evaluated further between now and then to determine the severity of the issue. The Penguins might need to call on Kevin Hayes to enter the lineup if Crosby misses time, as the team is once again running a bit thin down the middle.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Leaves Thursday's game
Crosby sustained an undisclosed injury and won't finish Thursday's game versus the Senators.
The nature of Crosby's injury wasn't revealed, and it's not obvious what caused his early exit. The 38-year-old can be considered day-to-day for now, though the Penguins will want him back as soon as possible since they're in the playoff race.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Starting against Ottawa
Skinner will start Thursday's road game against Ottawa, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Skinner has alternated starts with Arturs Silovs since the Olympic break, and that trend will continue Thursday. Across seven starts since the league's layoff, Skinner has gone 1-2-4 with a 3.33 GAA and .886 save percentage.

Penguins' Anthony Mantha: Playing Thursday
Mantha (lower body) will be in action Thursday in Ottawa, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Mantha sat out practice Wednesday with the injury, but will not miss a game. He has 26 goals, 27 assists, 47 hits and 131 shots on goal over 71 appearances this season.

Penguins' Joona Koppanen: Summoned from AHL
Koppanen was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
Koppanen only had one assist in 10 NHL games this season before he was sent to the AHL on Jan. 20. He has been okay at best with the Baby Pens, tallying seven goals and adding 12 assists across 37 appearances. He will likely be a fourth-line player if he enters the lineup Thursday, but he's more likely to be the Penguins' 13th forward in Ottawa.

Penguins' Avery Hayes: Called up by Pittsburgh
Hayes was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
Hayes was sent to the minors last Thursday, but he'll rejoin the NHL club a week later. He's appeared in 11 games for Pittsburgh this year, racking up two goals, 13 hits, 12 PIM and seven blocked shots while averaging 10:37 of ice time, and he'll provide additional depth while the team deals with multiple injuries.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Won't return Thursday
Malkin (upper body) will miss Thursday's game in Ottawa, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Malkin will miss his second straight game. He has 15 goals and 52 points in 50 outings in 2025-26. Malkin won't travel with the Penguins to Ottawa, but it's just a one-game road trip. He remains day-to-day and might still be an option against Dallas on Saturday.

Penguins' Anthony Mantha: Dealing with lower-body injury
Mantha won't practice Wednesday and is day-to-day due to a lower-body injury.
Mantha has 26 goals and 53 points in 71 outings with Pittsburgh in 2025-26. If he can't play Thursday in Ottawa, then Kevin Hayes will probably draw into the lineup.

Penguins' Yegor Chinakhov: Stays hot in loss
Chinakhov scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Chinakhov has scored in three straight games. He's earned five goals and eight helpers over 13 outings in March, which is half of his production with the Penguins this season. The 25-year-old winger is up to 32 points, 117 shots on net, 48 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 62 appearances between Pittsburgh and Columbus. Since being acquired by the Penguins in late December, he has been excellent as a top-six fixture.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Back on score sheet
Rakell scored a goal Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to Colorado.
It was his 15th of the season. Rakell had his eight-game, 10-point scoring streak snapped Sunday, so it's great that he's back on the score sheet. The Pens dropped to third in the Metropolitan Division with the loss, and they're just one point ahead of the Islanders, who are fourth. Rakell is one of the scoring leaders on the team, and he'll need to keep this pace up over the stretch to help secure the playoff spot.

Penguins' Kris Letang: Fourth active defender to 800 pts
Letang put up an assist Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to Colorado. It was his 800th NHL point.
Letang is the 21st defender in history to reach 800 regular-season points and the fourth active. Brent Burns (939), Erik Karlsson (924) and Victor Hedman (811) top that list. Letang achieved the feat in 1,226 regular-season games. It was a great milestone for Letang, who had gone 11 games without a point. His last goal was on New Year's Day. He has nine points (one goal, eight assists) in his last 27 games.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Can't recover from early flurry
Silovs made 24 saves in a 6-2 loss to Colorado on Tuesday. He allowed five goals.
Silovs never recovered from a first-period flurry where he allowed three goals in a 1:55 span. But then again, his teammates are really struggling to score lately -- they have been outscored 11-3 in two straight losses. Silovs has been alternating starts with Stuart Skinner, and he's 2-1-0 in his last three and 5-3-0 in eight games since the Olympic break. Skinner is 1-2-4 in the same span, so the Pens could send Silovs out there a bit more often to keep a playoff spot. They are now third in the Metropolitan Division, just one point ahead of the Islanders in fourth.

Penguins' Ryan Shea: Slated to play against Colorado
Shea (upper body) is expected to be available for Tuesday's home game versus the Avalanche, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
Yohe noted that Shea has a significant gash above his upper lip and will play with a full cage Tuesday. The 29-year-old defenseman sat out Sunday's 5-1 loss to Carolina due to his injury. Ryan Graves is set to serve as a healthy scratch as a result of Shea's expected return to the lineup against Colorado.
