Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Continues to produce
Lizotte notched a goal and added three hits in Friday's 4-2 win over the Rangers.
Lizotte couldn't extend his multi-point streak to three games, but he continues to thrive in recent games and has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his last five appearances, posting three goals and three assists in that span. Lizotte has been limited to 12 games this season, but his point-per-game ratio is at 0.67, which would represent a career-high mark for him. The only way for him to enter fantasy relevancy would be to secure a steady spot in the lineup, though.

Penguins' Philip Tomasino: Extends point streak to four games
Tomasino scored a goal, took three shots and recorded a hit in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.
Tomasino found twine for the third time across his last four games, and this four-game point streak has been his longest streak of the campaign. Considering that he had notched just one assist in 12 games before the ongoing streak, there's no doubt Tomasino is riding his most productive stretch of the season. However, his overall numbers suggest he's nothing more than a streaming option in most formats right now, although his top-six role suggests he'll have more opportunities to produce in the coming contests.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Loses to Rangers on Friday
Nedeljkovic stopped 28 of 32 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.
Nedeljkovic has traded wins and losses in his last four starts, but the numbers haven't been encouraging for the 28-year-old. He's given up at least three goals in three of those four starts, a span in which he's posted a 3.71 GAA and an .878 save percentage. The Penguins have been rotating between the pipes of late, and if recent tendencies remain, then Tristan Jarry would be in line to start Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Starting Friday
Nedeljkovic will be between the visiting pipes against the Rangers on Friday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Nedeljkovic is coming off a stellar start Tuesday, as he kicked out 30 shots in a 6-2 win over Calgary. He is 4-4-3 with a 3.31 GAA and an .883 save percentage in 12 appearances this season. Nedeljkovic will face the slumping Rangers, who have won only three of their last 13 games.

Penguins' Marcus Pettersson: Pots goal in Tuesday's win
Pettersson scored a goal, added three hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers.
Pettersson was somewhat steady with four helpers over 14 contests in November, but he hadn't scored since Oct. 10 versus the Red Wings. The 28-year-old defenseman is not an elite source of offense on the blue line, but he brings a steady physical game. For the season, he's at 11 points, 30 shots on net, 32 hits, 52 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 27 contests. He's averaging 22:29 of ice time, just 11 seconds less per game than last year, so he remains a key part of the Penguins' defense.

Penguins' Kris Letang: Scores again Tuesday
Letang scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers.
Letang's tally stretched the Penguins' lead to 3-1 in the second period. The defenseman has four points over his last two games after going six contests without a point. He's collected four goals, six helpers, 61 shots on net, 43 hits, 26 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-13 rating through 24 outings overall.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Nets game winner in OT
Rust scored in overtime in a 5-4 win over Florida on Tuesday.
Rust carried the puck to the right face-off circle and wired a wrist shot on a 2-on-1 with Erik Karlsson at 1:31 of the extra frame. He has a point in each of his last two games (one goal, one assist) and five (three goals, two assists) in his last four. Fantasy managers are leaning in to see if Rust's game is finally back. So far, so good.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Third straight win
Jarry made 34 saves in a 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers on Tuesday.
Don't look now, but Jarry has won three straight games. He has now beaten the Canucks, Bruins and Panthers while allowing nine goals in that span. Overall, his 3.88 GAA and .884 save percentage are rather ugly, but if he can keep this solid play going, Jarry could return to fantasy relevance.

Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Four points in last two games
Lizotte had two assists in a 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers on Tuesday.
Lizotte has four points (two goals, two assists) over his last two games, and he's off to a roaring start with seven points, including four goals, in 11 games so far. Unfortunately, he has fired only 13 shots in those 11 games, and his 30.8 shooting percentage is unsustainable. Lizotte is on a nice run, but it's unlikely to last -- his career-best point total is 34 (2022-23).

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Nets first NHL goal
Pickering scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-4 overtime win over Florida.
It was his first NHL goal in his sixth game. Pickering fired a wrist shot from the point past a screen from Michael Bunting. At 20 years and 311 days, he becomes the 11th youngest defenseman in Penguins history to score a goal. Pickering was picked 21st overall in the 2022 NHL Draft and is looking like a natural on the Pens blue line.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Keeps stacking up honors
Malkin scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over Florida.
Malkin has 24 points, including six goals, in 27 games in what is clearly a bounce-back year. He can also say that he's in the record books after beating Spencer Knight on Tuesday. Malkin has now scored on 150 different goalies in his long career. Alex Ovechkin (178 games) and teammate Sidney Crosby (150) are the only active players who have scored on as many goalies.

Penguins' Cody Glass: Activated off injured reserve
Glass (concussion) was taken off injured reserve Tuesday.
A previous report indicated that Glass wasn't ready to play Tuesday, so while he may be medically cleared, he shouldn't be expected back in the lineup. There is plenty of competition for forward spots right now, especially after the team added Philip Tomasino from Nashville on Nov. 25. Whenever Glass does get into the lineup, he figures to slide into a bottom-six role.

Penguins' Jack St. Ivany: Headed for minors
St. Ivany was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
St. Ivany's demotion will make way for Cody Glass (concussion) to be activated off injured reserve. The blueliner has been a healthy scratch for three of the Pens' last five contests, averaging a mere 14:33 of ice time in those two appearances. Still, it was likely the fact that St. Ivany wasn't required to pass through waivers to be reassigned to the minors that factored into the Penguins' decision to send him down rather than his play on the ice.

Penguins' Cody Glass: Won't play Tuesday
Glass (concussion) will not be available against the Panthers on Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff relays.
Glass participated in Tuesday morning's optional skate, but he's considered day-to-day at this time. The Manitoba native has not suited up since Nov. 7 against the Hurricanes. Glass should retain a spot in the bottom six once given the all-clear.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: In blue paint versus Florida
Jarry will patrol the home crease Tuesday against the Panthers, per Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Jarry is coming off his best win of the season -- he turned aside 30 of 31 shots in Friday's 2-1 victory over Boston. It was the first time in 2024-25 that Jarry has allowed less than three goals in a game. The 29-year-old will have a tough assignment Tuesday against a Panthers club that sits fifth in the NHL with 3.64 goals per game through 25 contests.
