Mike Sullivan on the statuses of Kris Letang and Noel Acciari, who both missed practice: "Tanger is being evaluated for a lower-body injury. Noel is being evaluated for an upper-body injury. That's all I got for you today."

Per Mike Sullivan, Alex Nedeljkovic is in the hill tonight. Making his Penguins debut.
Noel Acciari is good to go after taking a puck to the head last night.
@PensInsideScoop

Only Vancouver’s Brock Boeser (4) has more goals than Sidney Crosby (3) so far this season. 😏 And Evgeni Malkin is tied for second in points (4).
It's early, but still... you love to see it.
@OtherNHLCrosby
— NHL Game Day Stats (@GameDayStatsNHL) Oct 13, 2023
What a night for Evgeni Malkin. Goal, three assists.

Tristan Jarry starts in goal tonight against the Capitals, the first game of a back-to-back set for Pittsburgh, which means Alex Nedeljkovic will likely make his Penguins debut on Saturday night at home versus Calgary. But of course, we’ll confirm that when the time comes.

Tonight marks the 18th season in which Sid, Geno and Letang have played together, establishing a North American pro record. Previously they shared the mark with the Yankees’ Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada (1995-2011). Grateful to have witnessed the magic.

Letang on the switch: "The natural position for me is at the top. I was put in a spot where I was learning and getting better every day. Obviously, Jake is coming back. And he's a key player on this power play. ... We have so many good players, there will be some moving pieces." https://t.co/2EppKfl6b0

Mike Sullivan said there’s a chance Jake Guentzel could be in the lineup on opening night Tuesday versus Chicago.
“His status is day-to-day. He’ll more than likely be a game-time decision. He’s an important player for us. We’re real encouraged by his progress.”

The Penguins are doing special teams work to start practice. First, they did 5-on-3 drills...
PP1): Karlsson, Crosby, Malkin, Rakell, Guentzel
PP2) Letang, Rust, Smith, Carter, Harkins
Now, they're doing 4-on-3 drills.

Doesn't sound like there is a timeline on return of Josh Norris to #Senators lineup. Coach D.J. Smith: "At this point, I'm being told he's just unable to play. With injuries, things happen sometimes where maybe it didn't rehab quite the way they had expected." #NHL

Mike Sullivan said the placement of guys on that top PP unit will be a work in progress. "I think you'll see a lot of motion. Sometimes you might see Kris up top and Erik on the flank. But I think having those two right-handed shots give us a little bit of a different look, maybe… https://t.co/v6DmM85JX0

Mike Sullivan tells me that the @penguins are ready to unleash Karlsson and Letang on the same power play.“The power play is very important to Erik and Kris. So we’ll start with both of them on the top unit. And so we'll see how it goes. We've got a lot of options."

Sullivan says it’s a fair assessment that Guentzel will miss approximately the first five games of the season. Were that the case, he would be due to return around Oct. 24 against Dallas, give or take a few days.
