Jussi Jokinen News

Jokinen missed last night's game due to an upper-body injury. Key forwards like Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz will not be in the lineup, but Jokinen will return.

Jokinen was injured in Thursday's win over the Jets. He had one assist in 13:46 before leaving the game. The Penguins have said that the injury is not serious, so consider him day-to-day.

Jokinen will take warmups and be a game-time decision. He would likely center the fourth line if he plays and will provide the Pens some help in the faceoff circle and on the power-play.

Jokinen was acquired by the Penguins on Wednesday and will suit up tonight vs. the Rangers. Jokinen has struggled this season, posting just six goals and five assists in 33 games with Carolina. Now he will be playing with two other veterans on a highly skilled team, you might be able to squeeze some fantasy value out of the 30-year-old.

Jokinen is struggling this season but he provides the Pens with some insurance with Sidney Crosby out of the lineup. He likely won't become any more fantasy relevant in Pittsburgh than he was in Carolina.

Jokinen will stay with the Hurricanes. He will report to the AHL. If you have him, drop him.

Jokinen has posted 10 points (5g, 5a) in 30 games with the Hurricanes. In total, he’s logged 285 games and 184 points (67g, 117a) with Carolina since joining the team on Feb. 9, 2009. Jokinen is in the second year of a three-year contract, worth $3 million per year. He is due to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2014.

Jokinen moves down to the third line for tonight's game. He scored 12 goals and 46 points in 78 games.

Sounds like Jokinen is also banged up after back-to-back contests. He has 11 goals and 41 points through 70 games.

Probably a safe bet to start Jokinen tonight. He should start out on the second line with Zac Dalpe and Tuomo Ruutu.

Jokinen moves off the Staal line and will center the second line tonight. He has only four goals and 23 points in 40 games.

Jokinen on the top line is optimal place for him to produce offensively. The Kalajoki, Finland native has four goals and 22 points in 38 games. Expect a slight boost playing with Staal.

Jokinen moves down to the second power play unit. Eight of his 17 points have come with the man advantage so this move is likely to help level both units.

Both players have their assorted bumps and bruises but they should be able to play tomorrow. The Finnish forward has three goals and 12 points through 17 games.

Jokinen centers the infamous Finns and Skins line. After missing the past three games -- all Canes loses -- the team is certainly happy to get him back in the lineup.

Should Jokinen return, look for him to center the second line with Jeff Skinner and Tuomo Ruutu. The versatile forward scored three goals and nine points over his first 12 games.

Certainly good news for the Canes, who have struggled without Jokinen in the lineup. He has three goals and nine points through his first 12 games.
