Penguins' Ville Koivunen: Drops to minors
Koivunen was sent to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday, per the AHL transactions log.
Koivunen got into three games with Pittsburgh after being promoted last Tuesday, but he was a healthy scratch Monday in Long Island. The Finnish winger has produced over a point per game with the minor-league affiliate this season, generating 11 goals and 33 points across 29 outings.

Penguins' Rutger McGroarty: Returned to AHL
McGroarty was assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.
McGroarty was a healthy scratch for Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders before being returned to the minors. He has two goals, five points, 34 shots on net and 23 hits in 21 NHL appearances this season. McGroarty also has seven goals and 26 points in 25 AHL appearances this campaign.

Penguins' Parker Wotherspoon: Adds pair of helpers
Wotherspoon notched two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.
Wotherspoon has nine helpers over his last nine contests. The 28-year-old has made the most of his recent top-four usage, though his fantasy value is still limited to deeper formats. He's at 29 points, 64 shots on net, 152 hits, 107 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 74 games this season.

Penguins' Ryan Shea: Finds twine in win
Shea scored a goal in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.
Shea ended a five-game point drought with the tally, a span that included one absence due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman has produced five points and 22 blocked shots over 15 outings in March. For the season, he's at five goals, 29 points, 67 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 37 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-22 rating over 73 appearances. Shea is currently in a third-pairing role, which will limit his production.

Penguins' Elmer Soderblom: Goal, fight in win
Soderblom scored a goal on two shots, doled out three hits and added five PIM in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.
Soderblom got the Penguins on the board at 6:41 of the second period with the first of their five goals in that frame. The 24-year-old has a goal and an assist over his last two games, but he went five contests without a point prior to that. He's now at four points in 12 outings with the Penguins, one more than he had in 39 appearances with the Red Wings to begin the campaign. Soderblom is likely to remain in a bottom-six role moving forward.

Penguins' Avery Hayes: Gets involved in blowout win
Hayes scored a goal in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.
Hayes spent a couple of days in the AHL over the weekend, and he returned to the NHL lineup with a third-period goal. The 23-year-old has three goals, 20 shots on net, 14 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating over his first 12 NHL outings. Hayes will likely be limited to bottom-six minutes for the rest of the season, giving him low fantasy appeal.

Penguins' Kris Letang: Two helpers in Monday's rout
Letang produced two assists in Monday's 8-3 romp over the Islanders.
The 38-year-old blueliner had a hand in tallies by Anthony Mantha in the second period and Bryan Rust in the third. The performance snapped a brutal drought for Letang -- he'd managed just one assist in his last 14 games, and his last multi-point effort came back on Nov. 28. On the season, Letang has scraped together three goals and 30 points in 68 contests, and while he looks to be approaching the end of the road on his NHL career, he still has two years and $12.2 million left on his contract.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Two-point effort against Isles
Rust scored an even-strength goal and added a shorthanded assist in Monday's 8-3 rout of the Islanders.
After helping to set up Rickard Rakell for a second-period tally, Rust wrapped up the scoring late in the third after David Rittich had replaced Ilya Sorokin in the Isles' crease. Rust is roaring into April, getting onto the scoresheet in 10 of the last 11 games while racking up six goals and 15 points. Monday's performance put the veteran winger over the 60-point mark for the second straight season.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Lights lamp twice in win
Rakell scored two goals, one shorthanded, in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.
The veteran center potted the Penguins' second and seventh goals of the night, with the latter chasing Ilya Sorokin from the game. Rakell has been outstanding in March, getting onto the scoresheet in 12 of the last 13 games while collecting eight goals and 17 points over that stretch. He needs one more tally to produce his seventh career 20-goal campaign.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Two points in Monday's return
Crosby pocketed two assists in Monday's 8-3 romp over the Islanders.
Back in the lineup after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Stars due to a nagging lower-body injury, the future Hall of Famer helped set up tallies by Ryan Shea in the second period and Bryan Rust in the third. Crosby has produced one goal and seven points in six appearances since making his initial return from the injury he picked up during the Olympics, and on the season, he's churned out 28 goals and 66 points in 62 contests.

Penguins' Anthony Mantha: Three points including GWG
Mantha scored two goals, one the game-winner, and added an assist in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.
The veteran winger was in on three straight tallies for Pittsburgh to close out a wild second period that saw the two teams combine for eight goals. It was Mantha's second two-goal performance in March, and over the last 12 games, he's collected eight goals and 12 points as he wraps up a career-best campaign. He's one goal short of reaching 30 for the first time, and three points away from his first 60-point season.

Penguins' Justin Brazeau: Three helpers in Monday's rout
Brazeau picked up three assists in Monday's 8-3 rout of the Islanders.
The 28-year-old winger had a hand in two Anthony Mantha tallies late in the second period, one of which proved to be the game-winner, as well as a Rickard Rakell goal in the third. The performance snapped a seven-game point drought for Brazeau since he'd returned in mid-March from an upper-body injury, and on the season, he's produced 16 goals and 33 points in 56 contests.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Carries to win by offense
Silovs made 20 saves in Monday's 8-3 win over the Islanders.
The 25-year-old netminder gave up all three of his goals on just eight shots in the second period, but the Penguins struck five times in that frame alone. Silovs has allowed fewer than three goals only once in his last seven starts, managing a 4-3-0 record over that stretch despite a rough 3.91 GAA and .844 save percentage.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Suiting up on Long Island
Crosby (lower body) is in the lineup for Monday's road matchup versus the Islanders.
Crosby wasn't available against the Stars on Saturday and was deemed a game-time call against the Islanders earlier Monday. The all-world center will skate between Yegor Chinakhov and Bryan Rust on Long Island. Pittsburgh's captain has torched the Isles throughout his career -- he's generated 44 goals, 96 helpers and a plus-30 rating across 92 regular-season games against them.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Not playing Monday
Malkin (upper body) won't play against the Islanders on Monday.
Despite being a full participant in Sunday's practice, Malkin remains day-to-day and will miss his fourth straight game. It's unclear if he will be ready to play against Detroit on Tuesday. Malkin has generated 15 goals, 52 points and 129 shots on net across 50 appearances this season.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Game-time call Monday
Crosby (lower body) will be a game-time decision versus the Islanders on Monday, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
The fact that the Penguins didn't rule Crosby out, as they did with Evgeni Malkin (upper body), would seem to bode well for a return sooner rather than later. In five games back from a previous lower-body issue, the 38-year-old Crosby scored one goal on 14 shots while adding four helpers. If Crosby plays Monday, he will be on the first line and No. 1 power-play unit.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Leaves ice first Monday
Silovs was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating he'll guard the cage on the road versus the Islanders.
Silovs has allowed four or more goals in five of his last six outings, posting a 3-3-0 record and 4.07 GAA in that span. With the Penguins heading into a back-to-back, fantasy managers can expect Stuart Skinner to get the nod at home versus the Red Wings on Tuesday.
