The Penguins are set to have a morning skate here in New Jersey at 11:30 a.m., and it'll likely be a full one after having an off day on Friday. Should be the first opportunity to see what this new guy P.O Joseph looks like. I'll have updates below.
• It's Jacob Markstrom in net for New Jersey.
• Full attendance for the Penguins at this skate, other than obviously the injured Marcus Pettersson.
• Looks like Ryan Graves will sit so Joseph can get back in. Jesse Puljujarvi and Kevin Hayes remain the odd men out at forward:
Rickard Rakell - Sidney Crosby - Bryan Rust Michael Bunting - Evgeni Malkin - Cody Glass Anthony Beauvillier - Drew O'Connor - Phil Tomasino Matt Nieto - Blake Lizotte - Noel Acciari
Owen Pickering - Kris Letang Matt Grzelcyk - Erik Karlsson P.O Joseph - Ryan Shea
• On Graves being the odd man out: Remember that he, Joseph and Pickering don't play the right side. Of the lefties they have, only Grzelcyk and Shea can play the right. So, had they sat Shea, they'd have to re-arrange the other pairs too.
• Top power play: Grzelcyk, Letang, Crosby, Bunting, Rakell.
• Second power play: Karlsson, Rust, Malkin, Tomasino, Glass.
• First goalie off: Tristan Jarry.
• O’Connor says he has 40-50 friends and family coming tonight.
• Familiar sound in the locker room of Letang and Joseph bickering in French. He's officially back.
