Sean Monahan - Dealing with wrist injuryMonahan will miss time with a wrist injury per general manager Don Waddell, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
ImpactA specific timeline was not announced, but Waddell said he hoped Monahan wouldn't be out for a long time. Luca Del Bel Belluz was called up from AHL Cleveland and is likely to slot into a bottom-six role during Monahan's absence, but Adam Fantilli is expected to see the biggest bump in playing time. Monahan has been a point-per-game player (14 goals, 27 assists over 41 outings), so his absence will require fantasy managers to find an alternative for center depth for a while.

Luca Del Bel Belluz - Summoned WednesdayDel Bel Belluz will be called up by Columbus on Wednesday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
ImpactDel Bel Belluz has 17 goals and 37 points in 34 appearances with AHL Cleveland in 2024-25. Sean Monahan sustained an upper-body injury Tuesday, which might result in Del Bel Belluz drawing into the lineup Thursday versus Seattle.

Evgeni Malkin - Limited at practiceMalkin (upper body) skated Wednesday but didn't participate in line rushes, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
ImpactThe fact that Malkin wasn't working in his usual second-line center spot doesn't bode well for his availability against the Oilers on Thursday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. After questions about his durability throughout his career, the 38-year-old center actually played in all 82 regular-season games in each of the previous two campaigns -- a streak that came to an end against Columbus on Tuesday.

Ryan Graves - Facing role reductionGraves was scratched for the second game in a row in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
ImpactKris Letang's return from a lower-body injury has given the Penguins a full complement of blueliners. Graves played in 10 of 13 games in December, but he may not see as much playing time as long as the team's blue line stays healthy. Graves has had a miserable 2024-25 with zero points over 31 contests while posting a minus-8 rating, 23 shots on net, 36 hits and 40 blocked shots. For now, Owen Pickering and Pierre-Olivier Joseph have the upper hand for third-pairing minutes.
