Jordan Staal practiced with the team today according to <a href="http://insidepittsburghsports.com/story/pens-morning-skate-report/30994/">William DePaoli of Inside Pittsburgh Sports</a>. &nbsp;He apparently was shooting pucks from the high slot but still is not expected to play this weekend.
The 22-year-old forward has been out with a right foot infection, which he originally suffered from during the playoffs. &nbsp;He is expected to play on the second line once he returns and <a href="https://publish.dailyfaceoff.com/team-lineups?team=36">likely will move either Aaron Asham or Mike Comrie</a> down to the third/fourth lines. &nbsp;For now, Mark Letestu remains safe next to Evgeni Malkin
The Penguins play tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers and tomorrow night against the Carolina Hurricanes. &nbsp;The soonest he could return is against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday, November 3rd.<div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="148"></div>
