Liljegren was a late scratch on Thursday ahead of game time due to an upper-body injury and is not expected to be out week-to-week but is luckily expected to return before the playoffs. The 24-year-old had been playing exceptionally as of late with six points (1G/5A) in his last seven games while occupying Toronto's top powerplay unit.

Liljegren is a surprise scratch for Thursday's game as the team gave no indications of a potential injury prior to warmups. His absence makes way for the return to Giordano (concussion), and Connor Timmins will likely move up to the top power-play unit in his place.

Dellandrea played for the first time in four games on Tuesday, registering five penalty minutes, two shots, and one hit. He will return to the sidelines as a healthy scratch as Tyler Seguin returns to the lineup.

The Penguins snapped a three-game losing skid on Tuesday courtesy of Nedeljkovic and will return to him between the pipes on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Penguins enter action as -224 home favourites.
