Status report
The Penguins did not hold a morning skate. ... Carter, a forward, will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game and second time in the NHL. Hinostroza again will fill his spot on the fourth line. ... Ludvig has been skating in Pittsburgh. The defenseman was injured during his first game of the season, a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on Oct. 24. ... Nedeljkovic also has been skating in Pittsburgh. The goalie was placed on long-term injured reserve Oct. 25, one day after he was injured against the Dallas Stars. The earliest Nedeljkovic could return is Nov. 19 against the Vegas Golden Knights ... The Ducks will stick with the same lineup they used in a 4-2 win against the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday.
