Pittsburgh Penguins News
Crosby (wrist) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.
Crosby has missed the first seven games of the season but has been skating regularly for the last two weeks. In Friday's practice, he skated on the top line with Jake Guentzel and Evan Rodrigues and was on the top power-play unit, both good signs that he'll play Saturday. Crosby had 62 points (24G / 38A) in 55 games a season ago.
The Ducks have placed Rickard Rakell (upper-body) on IR.
Rakell (upper-body) is questionable to play Friday in Vegas.
Rakell left Thursday's game in the third period and did not return. Because of the back-to-back, the Ducks have yet to provide an update on Rakell, so consider him a game-time decision.
The Wild have recalled Connor Dewar from Iowa (AHL).
Dewar has scored two goals with two assists (four points) in four AHL games this season. Dewar was one of three players called up because Mats Zuccarello and Rem Pitlick were placed on the COVID-19 reserve list. If he plays on Thursday, it would be his NHL debut.
Crosby (wrist) will not play Thursday vs. the Flames.
The Penguins said that they are keeping Crosby's timeline internal, so it's unclear when Crosby will make his season debut. Their next game is Saturday vs. the Devils.
Crosby (wrist) remains out Tuesday vs. the Lightning.
Crosby continues to skate with the team but is not quite ready to make his season debut. Monitor Crosby's progress leading up to Thursday's game vs. the Flames.

Clifton will be a healthy scratch on Friday.
Clifton had a tough night in Philadelphia, posting a minus-2 rating in 18:39 TOI. Clifton will be replaced by John Moore on the Bruins' third pair.
Line Change
Tomasino is expected to draw back into the Predators lineup on Thursday.
Jarry is in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.
Jarry has tested positive for COVID-19 but is reportedly asymptomatic. Being placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol puts Jarry's status for Saturday's game in doubt. If Jarry can't play, look for Casey DeSmith to get the nod vs. Toronto.
Crosby (wrist) will not play Saturday vs. the Maple Leafs.
Crosby has missed the first four games of the season and will miss Saturday's game vs. Toronto. The next opportunity for him to play would be Tuesday vs. the Lightning.

Rust is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Rust was hurt in the second game of the season and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. This is another huge blow for the Penguins, who are already without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin upfront. Luckily for the Penguins, they only have seven games over the next three weeks, so Rust may not miss too many games.
