Penguins' Parker Wotherspoon: Registers two assists
Wotherspoon posted two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Wotherspoon last posted a multi-point effort Jan. 3 versus the Red Wings. The defenseman has three helpers over his last four games, but offense hasn't been a major factor in his play this season, which has been steady enough to command top-four minutes. Wotherspoon is at 22 points, 59 shots on net, 137 hits, 99 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 66 appearances and has often skated alongside Erik Karlsson at even strength.

Penguins' Yegor Chinakhov: Records two power-play assists
Chinakhov notched two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Chinakhov had a hand in goals by Anthony Mantha and Bryan Rust, as the Penguins' special teams made a difference in the contest. With a goal and six helpers over his last five outings, Chinakhov continues to be an effective part of the Penguins' offence. The 25-year-old has earned 27 points over 57 appearances between Pittsburgh and Columbus this season, with just four of those points coming on the power play. He's within striking distance of reaching the 30-point mark for the first time in his career -- he came up one short in 2023-24 with the Blue Jackets.

Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Supplies pair of helpers
Karlsson logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Karlsson has earned a pair of assists in three of the Penguins' last four games. The 35-year-old defenseman has two goals and eight helpers across eight outings in March as he continues to pick up momentum late in the campaign. He's at six goals, 40 assists, 136 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 61 contests overall. Karlsson should be able to get to the 50-point threshold by the end of the season.

Penguins' Noel Acciari: Pots game-winner
Acciari scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Acciari scored for the second time in three games, and this tally was the game-winner. The 34-year-old forward's defensive skills have made him a fixture in the lineup, getting plenty of ice time despite his fourth-line assignment. He's up to eight goals, 17 points, 69 shots on net, 55 hits, 40 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 52 outings this season. Acciari has a chance to reach the 20-point mark for just the third time in his career.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Buries goal in win
Novak scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Novak's tally tied the game at 2-2 late in the second period. The 28-year-old has earned four points over the last five games and has looked capable in handling a larger role while the Penguins' forward group is depleted by absences. Novak now has 15 goals, 37 points, 104 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 66 appearances. He's on pace to top the 40-point mark for the third time in his four full NHL campaigns.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Tallies on power play
Rust scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Rust has three goals and two assists over his last three games, and he's gotten on the scoresheet in eight of the last nine contests. The 33-year-old is picking up the pace while the Penguins are missing Sidney Crosby (lower body), Evgeni Malkin (suspension) and Justin Brazeau (upper body). Rust now has 51 points this season, including a career-best 22 on the power play. He's added 150 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 26 hits and a plus-3 rating through 59 appearances.

Penguins' Anthony Mantha: Pair of points in win
Mantha scored a power-play goal on five shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Mantha helped the Penguins dig out of a 2-0 hole, contributing on both of his team's tallies in the second period. The 31-year-old winger has four goals and two assists during a four-game point streak. He's had a career year so far, earning 25 goals and 51 points across 66 appearances. Mantha has added 124 shots on net, 42 hits, 33 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a plus-15 rating while regularly playing on the second line.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: Yields three goals in win
Skinner stopped 26 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Skinner gave up the first two goals of the game as the Penguins' defense was leaky to start the game, but they all improved later in the contest. The 27-year-old netminder had gone winless in his last five outings (0-1-4) while allowing 16 goals, so this was a much-needed performance. Skinner is up to 20-13-8 with a 2.78 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 41 appearances this season, though his numbers have been slightly better with the Penguins than they were with the Oilers. If the Penguins continue their goalie rotation, Skinner could get two consecutive starts against the Eastern Conference's top team, the Hurricanes.

Penguins' Kevin Hayes: Won't play Saturday
Hayes (upper body) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Utah, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Hayes hasn't been in the lineup since March 3. He has three goals and five points in 25 appearances in 2025-26. There's no guarantee that Hayes will be put into the lineup when he's healthy.

Penguins' Ryan Graves: Moves to IR
Graves (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
After being sent to the minors Thursday for a conditioning stint, Graves appeared in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-2 loss to Hershey on Friday. It's unclear when he will be available to return to action. Graves has one goal, 19 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 15 hits in 19 NHL appearances this season.

Penguins' Samuel Girard: Ruled out Saturday
Girard (upper body) will miss Saturday's clash in Utah, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Girard will miss his third straight game. The 27-year-old blueliner has yet to pick up a point in seven games with Pittsburgh after being acquired from Colorado on Feb. 24. He had three goals and nine assists in 40 games with the Avalanche before the trade. It's unclear if he will be ready to return Monday against his former teammates in Colorado.

Penguins' Stuart Skinner: First goalie off Saturday
Skinner was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is slated to defend the road goal against Utah on Saturday, according to Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Skinner is 0-1-4 in his last five starts, allowing 16 goals on 136 shots (.882 save percentage). The netminder is 8-5-4 with a 2.70 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 17 starts with the Penguins. He posted an 11-8-4 mark and an identical .891 save percentage over 23 games with the Oilers before a Dec. 12 trade from Edmonton. The Mammoth are averaging 3.11 goals per game in 2025-26, which ranks 17th in the NHL.

Penguins' Ryan Shea: Bags pair of apples
Shea logged two assists and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Shea has three helpers over his last three outings. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to be quietly effective for the Penguins, handling top-four minutes while chipping in depth scoring. He's at 27 points (four goals, 23 assists) with 64 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 34 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-25 rating across 65 appearances.

Penguins' Ben Kindel: Puts away goal in loss
Kindel scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Kindel has two goals and two assists over seven outings in March. He's been under the 15-minute mark in ice time for three straight contests, so it looks like he's lost out on the opportunity to gain playing time while the Penguins' forward group is thinned out by injuries. The team's spot in the playoff race is likely playing a part in that, as the Penguins won't want to put too much pressure on the 18-year-old. He's earned 16 goals, 31 points, 129 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 62 appearances. Those aren't Calder-worthy numbers, but Kindel's bright future is apparent already.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Finds twine in loss
Rakell scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Rakell has two goals and three assists during his active four-game point streak. He was able to get the Penguins on the board in the second period, but the 32-year-old couldn't carry the team's offense in this tough matchup. Rakell has 13 goals, 30 points, 121 shots on net, 59 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 44 appearances this season. He'll continue to function as the top-line center while the Penguins wait for Evgeni Malkin (suspension) to return Monday.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Poor showing in Vegas
Silovs stopped 11 of 16 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
Silovs has allowed 14 goals on 69 shots over his last three outings, and he's lucky to come away with one win in that span. If his struggles continue, it wouldn't be surprising to see Stuart Skinner gain playing time, though the Penguins have mostly stuck to a strict goalie rotation throughout the campaign. The 24-year-old Silovs is down to 14-9-8 with a 2.93 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 31 appearances. Skinner will likely get the nod Saturday in Utah, and if the rotation continues, Silovs would get the unenviable matchup in Colorado on Monday.
