Time to slot Letang back into the lineup after a two-game suspension. Over his first seven games, the Montreal native scored a goal and seven points. With his battery mate Brooks Orpik back in the lineup, his value can only increase.
Cryptic chance that you could get to use Malkin in your lineups on Saturday.
Malkin obviously will not play tonight. He will continue to rest his ailing knee in order to be fully healthy later in the season.
Good to hear that Crosby continues to take contact without any setbacks. As always, stay tuned for a further update.
With Brian Strait re-called the team at least can dress six defensemen tonight.
Look for Derick Brassard to stay on the top line with Rick Nash and R.J. Umberger. Stay tuned for a further update on the wounded top liner.
Don't expect to see any of these four players in the lineup over the next two road games. Through the team's first six games, they boast a league-best eight points.

Earlier in the preseason, we advised fantasy owners to be weary of Jeff Carter's achy foot. Following surgery to both feet, they simply are a target on the ice drawing the attention of his opposition. While he was day-to-day due to a bruised foot just a few weeks ago, according to Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch, via Twitter, he is likely out Tuesday due to a hairline fracture in his foot.
Malkin should sit out a few games before returning. At less than 100 percent he remains one of the most dynamic players in the League. Expect him to draw back into the lineup when healthy.
No word on who replaces him in the lineup. At this point, Malkin's ailment is diagnosed as soreness in his knee. Stay tuned for a further update.
Crosby skated on the top line today which is clearly a good sign. Hopefully he takes a few bumps and continues to recover from his now infamous concussion.
Malkin was not at today's morning skate. In his place on the top line was Sidney Crosby. More news as it comes in.
Carter was held out of yesterday's practice due to his bout with the flu. Look for him to not miss any game play as the team tries to get him back to 100 percent.
Malkin in, set your lineups accordingly.
Still no word on whether or not he plays tonight. Stay tuned for a further update.
Carter is certainly a trooper, playing through the flu last night despite barely sleeping. Don't expect him to miss any playing time.
Malkin skated with his regular line this morning, a strong indication he will play tonight. After practice he admitted his knee felt a bit sore, which could again hold him out of a game.
Crosby is cleared for contract which is excellent news for fantasy hockey owners and Pens fans. Keep in mind this news is the next step, and a step in the right direction. However, his return is still indefinite.
Carter taking warmups is an excellent indicator that he will play tonight. Stay tuned for an official update.
