Joseph will take a seat on Thursday in favour of Ryan Graves. Joseph has zero goals and three assists this season in 46 games split between the Blues and Penguins.

Nieto was placed on waivers Wednesday and went unclaimed resulting in the 32-year-old being re-assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) on Thursday. The left-winger's demotion came as little surprise as he has struggled to produce all season with just a goal, three points and 30 SOG in 31 games played.

Imama had been on the IR since February 7th due to an upper-body injury but is healthy and has been activated on Thursday ahead of Pittsburgh's game vs. Philadelphia. The 28-year-old left-winger had failed to pick up a point in any of his six appearances so far this season and will likely return to his bottom-six role as a depth forward for the Penguins upon his return.

With Matthew Nieto being assigned to the minors, Emil Bemstrom will take his spot on Pittsburgh's roster and is expected to draw into the lineup on Thursday vs. Philadelphia. The 25-year-old has only appeared in two games for the Penguins so far in 2024-25 and has failed to pick up a point.

The struggling Penguins have been outscored 22-9 during a four-game losing skid and will turn to Nedeljkovic between the pipes on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 29-year-old Nedeljkovic had a forgetful night on Tuesday, allowing six goals on 38 shots (.842 SV%) in a 6-1 loss to the Flyers. The Penguins enter Thursday's rematch as slight -106 home favorites against a Flyers squad riding a three-game winning streak.

Imama has not played since suffering the injury on February 7th. The 28-year-old forward has spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL, but has played six games with Pittsburgh, recording zero points while averaging 5:28 time-on-ice.

Rust has not played the previous three games for the Penguins, dating back to before the break for the 4Nations Face-Off, but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Rust has missed several stints this season due to injury but has been solid when healthy, scoring 42 points (20G / 22A) in 48 games.

The Penguins have lost three straight and will hope for a better result on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers, turning to Nedeljkovic between the pipes. Nedeljkovic struggled in his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 14 shots (.643 SV%) in an eventual 8-3 loss to the Washington Capitals. The 29-year-old netminder has a 3.06 GAA and .895 SV% through 28 appearances this season (12-10-5). The Penguins enter Tuesday's contest as +113 road underdogs against a Flyers squad that defeated them 3-2 on February 8th.

Grzelcyk exited Sunday's 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers with only 5:00 time-on-ice after being hit by Matt Rempe, who was issued a two-minute penalty on the play. The 31-year-old Grzelcyk is averaging 20:02 time-on-ice and has 28 points (1G / 27A) in 59 games this season.
