Pittsburgh Penguins News

O'Brien has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since February 26th but will play Wednesday in Dallas. O'Brien will replace Bokondji Imama in the Coyotes' bottom-6.

Bunting will miss the last couple of games with the injury he suffered early in the Maple Leafs' loss in Florida on Saturday. There has been no word on his availability for Game 1 of the postseason.

Beauvillier was scratched Thursday vs. the Rangers and head coach Barry Trotz said he's unsure of his status for Saturday. Since it's an afternoon game, there's no morning skate, so consider him a game-time decision.

Malkin was suspended for cross-checking Mark Borowiecki on April 10th and missed the last four games, where the Penguins went 2-1-1. He was back on the second line in Friday's practice and will play Saturday against the Red Wings. Since making his season debut on January 11th, Malkin has been a point-per-game player, scoring 17 goals with 20 assists (37 points) in 37 games.

With Jay Beagle (lower-body) and Nick Ritchie (upper-body) both hurt, Imama could make his NHL debut on Friday. The 6-foot-1, 221 lbs. winger has scored five goals with seven assists (12 points) and 178 PIMS in 54 games with Tucson this season.

Puljujarvi was missing from the Oilers morning skate and will miss Friday's game vs. Colorado. With Puljujarvi out, Kailer Yamamoto will skate with Connor McDavid and Ryan McLeod will move up to the Leon Draisaitl line.

Nedeljkovic missed the morning skate due to illness and head coach Jeff Blashill called him a game-time decision. Either way, it sounds like Thomas Greiss gets the start and Magnus Hellberg will serve as his backup if Nedeljkovic is unavailable.

Graves took a skate to the face against the Avalanche on Thursday and will not be available for Saturday's game in Seattle. Look for Colton White to draw into the lineup to replace Graves.

It's unclear when Karlsson suffered an injury and what is ailing him but he will return to San Jose and will not play Saturday. Radim Simek and Alexander Barabanov are also out, leaving the Sharks with just 16 skaters in Dallas.

Jarry picked up a lower-body injury on Thursday and is expected to miss an extended period of time. With the end of the season just two weeks away, it seems like Jarry could miss the rest of the regular season, making him questionable for the start of the postseason. Louis Domingue will serve as Casey DeSmith's backup on Saturday and could start one of the Penguins' back-to-back games next week.
