Schultz was listed as questionable after practicing on Monday but remained in Pittsburgh with the team travelling to Philadelphia. With the bye week starting after tonight's game, the penguins will play it safe with Schultz likely to return tot he lineup next Friday vs. the Flyers.

Schultz was on the ice for Monday's practice and has not been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia. This would be a huge boost to the Penguins blueline, who have seen John Marino and Marcus Pettersson step-up in his absence. Schultz had two goals and six assists (eight points) in 27 games before getting hurt in mid-December.

Schultz suffered what looked like a knee injury in his first shit in Calgary on Tuesday and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. It seems likely that Schultz will be out into the New Year and could be out much longer. The Penguins will likely re-evaluate the defenseman and release a more detailed timetable in the coming days.

Schultz has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury but was took regular reps in Thursday's practice and will play Friday vs. the Coyotes. Schultz, who has eight points (2G / 6A) in 21 games this season, will be in the top-4 and top power-play unit in his return.

Schultz has missed the last seven games with a lower-body injury but was took regular reps in Thursday's practice and appears in line to play on Friday. Schultz, who has eight points (2G / 6A) in 21 games this season, will be in the top-4 and top power-play unit in his return.

Schultz was questionable heading into Thursday’s game but the news is much worse for the Penguins. Injuries continue to pile up for Pittsburgh, who are already without Kris Letang on the back-end. John Marino and Brian Dumoulin will continue to be leaned on heavily at even-strength and Marcus Pettersson and Jusso Riikola should see a bump in PP usage.

Schultz continues to skate with the Penguins in practice but his status for Saturday’s game remains up in the air. Schultz has been out since October 13th but his return can’t come soon enough, with Olli Maatta out indefinitely.

Schultz underwent successful surgery to repair a fracture of his lower left leg on Sunday. Schultz is expected to miss at least four months, which will open the door for Jusso Riikola to become a full-time NHLer on the Penguins blueline. Jamie Oleksiak will draw n for Schultz on Tuesday and Olli Maatta will likely fill in for him on the second power-play unit.

The Penguins are still waiting for official word on Schultz’s injury, but it looks like he is going to miss some time. Schultz was forced to leave Saturday’s game with a gruesome looking leg/ankle injury and left the Bell Centre with crutches and a boot. “We are losing a good hockey player,” Jack Johnson told reporters, suggesting that the early prognosis is not good. If Schultz does miss time, Just Riikola will have a full-time roster spot moving forward and Jamie Oleksiak will draw into the lineup on Tuesday.

Schultz is dealing with a “nagging” upper-body injury but the Penguins don’t think it is anything serious. It sounds like Schultz will get some time off to end training camp to make sure he is ready for the start of the regular season.

Schultz has been sidelined by a lower-body injury for nearly one month, but could be back tonight in Philadelphia. Schultz took part in the Penguins morning skate, so monitor his status when the Pens hit the ice for warmups. He has two goals and eight assists (10 points) in 23 games in what has been an injury plagued season for the blueliner.

Schultz has been out since December 5th with a lower-body injury but he was on the ice for the Penguins morning skate, suggesting he is close to a return. Schultz stayed on late which suggests he’ll be out yet again but could be back for next Tuesday’s clash with the Flyers.

Schultz left Tuesday’s loss to the Rangers after placing just 9:00 TOI and was placed on IR this morning. His movement to injured reserve means that Schultz will miss at least the next three games and is not eligible to return until next Thursday in Vegas. Frank Corrado has been recalled to take Schultz’s spot on the roster.
