Penguins' Philip Tomasino: Waived by team
Tomasino was waived by the Penguins on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Tomasino has struggled this season, notching just one assist in nine appearances while averaging 12:10 of ice time. Still, the 24-year-old forward notched 11 goals and 12 assists in 50 regular-season games with the Penguins last year and could draw some interest on the waiver wire. Potentially moving Tomasino to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton could be an indication that one of the Pens' injured forwards is ready to return, or it could be a sign somebody else will be coming up from the minors.

Penguins' Gabriel D'Aigle: Earns weekly honors
D'Aigle was named the QMJHL Player of the Week on Monday.
D'Aigle won both of his games for QMJHL Victoriaville last week, allowing three goals on 66 shots in wins over Shawinigan and Gatineau. For the season, D'Aigle hasn't done all that well with a 4.28 GAA and an .886 save percentage, but this past week was a flash of what made the Penguins elect him 84th overall in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. Victoriaville is just 8-10-3 through 21 games this season, ranking at the bottom of the QMJHL's Eastern Conference, which will explain a large portion of D'Aigle's struggles so far.

Penguins' Jack St. Ivany: Wearing non-contact jersey
St. Ivany (lower body) took the ice Tuesday in a non-contact sweater, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
St. Ivany was injured during the preseason and was given a six-week recovery timeline. At this point, once the 26-year-old blueliner is cleared to play, he will likely be reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in order to get his legs back under him. Barring some significant changes to the Pens' blue line via injury or trade, St. Ivany will be hard-pressed to break into the Penguins' lineup.

Penguins' Ville Koivunen: Headed for injured reserve
Koivunen (lower body) is considered week-to-week and has been placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Koivunen was injured while playing in the Global Series against Nashville and is now facing some time on the shelf. The 22-year-old winger has yet to find the back of the net this year, recording just two assists, 13 shots and seven blocks in 11 outings. Samuel Poulin was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in a corresponding move.

Penguins' Samuel Poulin: Promoted to NHL roster
Poulin was elevated from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
Poulin joins the NHL roster after Ville Koivunen (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old Poulin has been lighting it up in the minors, racking up seven goals and eight helpers in 16 minor-league tilts with the Baby Pens. If Poulin gets into Friday's matchup with the Wild, it will likely mean a demotion to the press box for either Danton Heinen or Joona Koppanen.

Penguins' Joona Koppanen: Earns first helper of season
Koppanen logged an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.
Koppanen picked up his first helper in five outings this season. He's added four hits, three shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The 27-year-old forward is likely ticketed for bottom-six minutes until the Penguins can get some injured forwards back in action.

Penguins' Kevin Hayes: Logs first helper
Hayes recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.
This was Hayes' first point of the campaign. He's added five shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating over four appearances since recovering from an upper-body injury. The Penguins' injury concerns should allow Hayes to see fairly regular playing time in a middle-six role at least until the team gets healthier.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Sets up opening goal
Karlsson provided an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.
Karlsson's trip to his home country during Sunday's Global Series game in Sweden was a success. Not only did he help the Penguins secure a shutout win, but he also etched his name on the scoresheet with the primary helper on the opening goal scored by his defense partner, Parker Wotherspoon. Overall, the 35-year-old Karlsson is up to 12 assists, 13 points, 36 shots on goal and 21 blocks through 19 games this season. Even in his 17th season, he remains a solid option in all fantasy formats for his category coverage and offensive output, as he is currently just outside the top 10 in points among NHL defensemen.

Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Deposits empty netter
Lizotte scored an empty-net goal and put three shots on net in Sunday 4-0 win over the Predators.
Lizotte's third goal of the season placed the bow on top of a strong victory for Pittsburgh. Overall, the 27-year-old forward has four points and 24 shots on net through 19 games this season. He is currently behind the scoring pace he held in his first season with the Penguins, when he had 20 points in 59 games a year ago. However, Lizotte is heating up with three points in his last seven games. While his recent offensive output is encouraging, it's best to look elsewhere in fantasy until Lizotte consistently earns more ice time.

Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Lights lamp again
Crosby netted a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.
Crosby tallied an unassisted goal midway through the first period to give Pittsburgh a 3-0 lead. With his first goal since Nov. 6, Crosby is up to 12 on the season, which is tied for fifth across the NHL and trails the league leader, Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon, by two goals. With 21 points and 42 shots on net through 19 appearances this year, Crosby continues to produce at a high level and will be a fantasy factor all season. Crosby is on pace for his fifth consecutive season with 80-plus points, which will set him up well to surpass the 1,800-point mark by the end of his current contract through the 2026-27 season.

Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Finds twine in shutout win
Malkin scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.
The 20-year NHL veteran continues to defy his age as he tallied the second goal of the game for the Penguins. Overall, Malkin has five goals, 18 assists and 48 shots on goal through 19 games this season. He has continued to provide steady production for the Penguins all year, with at least a point in 16 of his 19 games. Malkin is tied for 14th in the league with 23 points through Sunday's games, and he isn't showing signs of slowing down. With 1,369 points in his career, he's on pace to reach 1,400 before the end of the season, making him an elite fantasy option the rest of the way.

Penguins' Parker Wotherspoon: Nets opening goal
Wotherspoon scored a goal, put two shots on net, served two PIM and dished out three hits in Sunday's 4-0 win over Nashville.
Wotherspoon lit the lamp at 2:19 of the first period, which gave the Penguins the only goal they would need to secure Sunday's Global Series game in Sweden. Overall, the 28-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, seven points, 29 hits and 28 blocks through 19 appearances this season. Wotherspoon's first season with the Penguins is well above the pace he needs to set new career highs in many major stat categories. He has been a staple in a top-pairing role for Pittsburgh alongside Erik Karlsson, giving Wotherspoon the chance to find his name on the fantasy radar in certain formats this season.

Penguins' Sergei Murashov: Posts shutout in Sweden
Murashov saved all 21 shots on goal in Sunday's 4-0 shutout win over the Predators.
Murashov followed up his solid debut with a stellar performance that included five saves on the penalty kill to help lift the Penguins over the Predators. With the shutout, the 21-year-old netminder has a 1-1-0 record with just three goals allowed on 48 shots across the first two appearances of his career. He has filled in admirably so far while Tristan Jarry (lower body) has been sidelined. Regardless of whether Murashov is sent back to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton once Jarry returns, he should grab a few more starts at the NHL level to showcase his skills. For now, Murashov is a solid spot start with the right matchup in fantasy.

Penguins' Ville Koivunen: Not playing Sunday
Koivunen (lower body) won't play against Nashville on Sunday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Koivunen is day-to-day and will miss at least one game after logging 13:46 of ice time in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Predators. He has contributed two assists, 13 shots on net and seven blocked shots through 11 appearances this season. Danton Heinen will replace Koivunen in Sunday's lineup against Nashville.

Penguins' Sergei Murashov: Starting Sunday
Murashov will patrol the home crease in Sunday's Global Series matchup against Nashville in Sweden, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Murashov made 24 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Kings last Sunday in his NHL debut. He has posted a 5-2-0 record with a 1.73 GAA and a .931 save percentage through seven appearances with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season. Nashville ranks 31st in the league with 2.53 goals per game this campaign.

Penguins' Joel Blomqvist: Activated and sent to AHL
Blomqvist (lower body) was activated from non-roster injured reserve and reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
Blomqvist will get plenty of playing time with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and could find himself back in the NHL if Tristan Jarry (lower body) remains out of the lineup for an extended period. Blomqvist posted a 4-9-1 record with a 3.81 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 15 NHL games during the 2024-25 regular season.

Penguins' Rutger McGroarty: Sent to AHL
McGroarty (upper body) was activated from non-roster injured reserve and assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
McGroarty is ready to play after missing all of training camp and Pittsburgh's first 18 games of the season. He had one goal, two assists, 11 shots on net, five blocked shots and 12 hits in eight NHL appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. McGroarty will probably get another look with the big club at some point this campaign.
