Jake Guentzel picked up a goal and an assist last Saturday against New York, marking the 50th multi-point effort in his career. 19.7% of his NHL games have included multiple points (50/254). Brandon Tanev has six points (3G-3A) in his last six games against the Islanders, which includes one of his two career three-point nights (1G-2A) on March 28, 2019 (5-4 NYI win over WPG). Through 11 games, the Penguins have been awarded zero power-play opportunities in a game twice. The last time Pittsburgh had three games with zero power-play opportunities was in the 82-game 2016-17 campaign (3 games with no power-play opportunities). Pittsburgh's six points from their rookie skaters (P.O Joseph, 5; Drew O'Connor, 1) are seventh-most in the NHL. Zach Aston-Reese has been activated from long-term injured reserve. Frederick Gaudreau was recalled from the taxi squad. Jared McCann has been placed on injured reserve retroactive to February 6.
Coach Sullivan: "Casey DeSmith is going to play in goal." When asked specifically if Malkin is available to play, he said, "all of the other guys will be game-time decisions."
Winger Bryan Rust has been one of Pittsburgh's most consistent performers through the first 11 games of the season. Rust has points in a team-best eight of 11 games this season (2G-6A) and his eight games with at least a point are tied for fifth-best in the East Division.
