Colaiacovo (lower-body) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s game vs. the Penguins.

Colaiacovo left Monday afternoon’s game with a lower-body injury. He has a long list of injuries in his career, so this is nothing new for veteran defenseman. Expect Brandon Manning to be recalled and play tomorrow.
