Jokinen centering line between Kunitz and Dupuis #Pens -SK

Jokinen was acquired by the Penguins on Wednesday and will suit up tonight vs. the Rangers. Jokinen has struggled this season, posting just six goals and five assists in 33 games with Carolina. Now he will be playing with two other veterans on a highly skilled team, you might be able to squeeze some fantasy value out of the 30-year-old.

Jokinen is struggling this season but he provides the Pens with some insurance with Sidney Crosby out of the lineup. He likely won't become any more fantasy relevant in Pittsburgh than he was in Carolina.

Forwards Jussi Jokinen and Tim Wallace have been placed on waivers, Hurricanes management confirmed on Tuesday.

Jokinen has posted 10 points (5g, 5a) in 30 games with the Hurricanes. In total, he’s logged 285 games and 184 points (67g, 117a) with Carolina since joining the team on Feb. 9, 2009. Jokinen is in the second year of a three-year contract, worth $3 million per year. He is due to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2014.

Jussi Jokinen had two goals in Friday's shutout of Washington, and has 16 points (8 goals, 8 assists) in 20 career games versus the Winnipeg franchise.

Probably a safe bet to start Jokinen tonight. He should start out on the second line with Zac Dalpe and Tuomo Ruutu.

Maurice says if Jokinen ready for Rangers, he likely will go back to 'Finns and Skins' line.

Should Jokinen return, look for him to center the second line with Jeff Skinner and Tuomo Ruutu. The versatile forward scored three goals and nine points over his first 12 games.

Rutherford said the return of injured forward Jussi Jokinen, one of the team's most versatile players, also should help. Jokinen missed the last two games with a leg injury.

Jokinen did not skate today, putting his status in jeopardy for tomorrow night's game. The versatile forward has three goals and nine points through 12 games.
