Pittsburgh Penguins News

Robertson was called up from the Marlies on Friday and is set to make his season debut in Detroit. The 20-year-old has scored three goals and five assists (eight points) in nine AHL games this season. He has one assist in six career NHL games to date.

Robertson is among the Maple Leafs' top prospects but has had a tough time gaining any traction due to repeated injury issues. Since returning to the Marlies lineup recently, Robertson has scored three goals with five assists (eight points) in nine games. He had one assist in six games with the Maple Leafs last season.

Karlsson skated again on Wednesday and the Sharks are hopeful that he could be back in the middle of March. Karlsson underwent surgery to repair a muscle tear in his left forearm on January 24th.

Bemstrom has missed the last seven games while in COVID-19 protocol but the Blue Jackets placed Joonas Korpisalo on IR and activated Bemstrom on Wednesday. This cleared the way for him to play Thursday in Florida but coming off of a win over the Maple Leafs, don't be surprised if they go with the same lineup as Tuesday.

Dumba returned from a two-game absence with an upper-body injury on Saturday but suffered a lower-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup on Monday. The Wild did not provide a timeline on Dumba, only saying he will be re-evaluated tomorrow. Jordie Benn will replace him in the lineup vs. Detroit.

Malkin practiced on Friday and Saturday and is expected to play Sunday in New Jersey. He's officially listed as a game-time decision, so monitor his status as the Penguins hit the ice for warmups.

Dumba missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will replace Jordie Benn in the lineup on Saturday. Dumba has scored four goals with 16 assists (20 points) in 39 games this season.

Bemstrom will not be available for Tuesday's game in Washington, so Trey Fix-Wolansky was recalled from the AHL and is expected to make his NHL debut.

Dumba missed the final game before the All-Star break and is expected to miss his second straight game on Tuesday. With Dumba out, Jordie Benn will continue to skate on the second pair with Jonas Brodin.

Malkin will miss at least two games after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list. He will be eligible to be activated for Sunday's game in New Jersey. Jeff Carter will likely shift to the No.2 centre while Malkin is out.

Dumba will come out of the lineup for the final game before the All-Star break, so look for him to be replaced by Jon Merrill, who was activated from COVID-19 protocol.

Bemstrom was a healthy scratch on Wednesday but will replace Alexandre Texier (upper-body) in the lineup on Thursday. Bemstrom has one goal and two assists (three points) in 10 games this season.

Karlsson underwent surgery to repair a small muscle tear in his left forearm on Monday and will miss at least 6-to-7 weeks. This is a terrible break for Karlsson, who was having a resurgent year, scoring eight goals with 18 assists (26 points) in 33 games. Ryan Merkley will likely remain with the Sharks with Karlsson out.

Karlsson will not play Saturday vs. the Lightning due to an upper-body injury. Radim Simek will replace him in the lineup and Ryan Merkley is expected to play an increased role.

Rust missed the last four games while in COVID-19 protocol but may play Monday in Vegas. Rust was one of the hottest players in the NHL before landing in protocol, scoring goals in four straight games, totalling 12 points (8G / 4A) in that span.
