Dumba left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury when he fell awkwardly into the boards. With Dumba expected to miss Saturday's game, he will likely be replaced by Carson Soucy, who missed yesterday's game due to a one-game suspension.


The Penguins said that Malkin is still being evaluated and will not play on Thursday. Head coach Mike Sullivan said that he hopes to have more information on Malkin in the next day or so, so it sounds like he could miss some time.


Bemstrom was hurt in Wednesday's practice and was placed on IR on Thursday, meaning he'll miss at least seven days. Mikhail Grigorenko will replace him in the Blue Jackets' bottom-6.

Malkin's injury comes on the heels of Teddy Blueger being sidelined "longer-term," so the Penguins centre depth will be put to the test if Malkin can't go Thursday. Luckily, Jared McCann, who is a natural centre but has played some wing this season, could be back in New Jersey.



Jones was a healthy scratch on Wednesday but will replace Kris Russell in the lineup on Friday. Jones has just one assist in 14 games so far this season.






It appears as if Crosby will be available for Thursday's game vs. the Flyers after being activated from the COVID-19 reserve list. If he does play, expect him to center the top line with Jake Guentzel.


The Penguins were forced to cancel Tuesday's morning skate due to COVID-19 protocols. Crosby was the only player added to the list, so expect him to be the only one missing tonight vs. the Flyers.


Acciari has been out since February 13th but will return to the lineup Monday vs. the Hurricanes. Acciari, who has no points in 12 games this season, will play on the fourth line.
