Matt Nieto - Plucks apple on power play Nieto notched a power-play assist in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Nieto sees almost no power-play time -- he was on the ice in that situation late Monday since the score was lopsided. With two points over his last six games, Nieto's finding a little more offense but remains on the fourth line with little chance of moving up. Overall, the 32-year-old has two points, 13 shots on net, 16 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 15 appearances.

Ryan Shea - Picks up power-play helper Shea posted a power-play assist in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Shea ended a seven-game point drought with his helper on a Blake Lizotte tally late in the contest. Don't expect Shea to be a factor with the man advantage moving forward, as Kris Letang, Erik Karlsson and Matt Grzelcyk have firm grips on power-play time. For the season, Shea has struggled with offense in generally, collecting two assists and seven shots on net as well as 24 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 17 appearances.

Blake Lizotte - Tallies late on power play Lizotte scored a power-play goal and added three hits in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Lizotte was on the ice on a late power play and cashed in the Penguins' final goal of the game. He's typically not a factor with the man advantage, seeing just traces of time at the ends of power plays to provide a steady defensive presence. The 27-year-old has done well in a bottom-six role this season, logging eight goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 26 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 20 appearances. He's on pace to return to the 20-point threshold after missing that mark over 62 games with the Kings last year.

Philip Tomasino - Strikes on power play Tomasino scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact A one-game absence due to an upper-body injury took Tomasino's offense off track earlier in December. He snapped a six-game point drought with his tally Monday, his fourth goal in 12 contests as a Penguin. The forward has six points, 42 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-3 rating over 23 appearances between Pittsburgh and Nashville this season. Tomasino continues to fill a middle-six role.

Erik Karlsson - Warm front approaching Karlsson put up two assists in a 7-3 win over Philadelphia on Monday.
Impact Karlsson has five points, including four assists, in his last four games. And he has 13 points, including 12 assists, and 31 shots in his last 14 games. Karlsson is warming up and is now on a pace that would match his 56-point total from last season. That will help you, even if he struggles defensively.

Evgeni Malkin - Record-setting night Malkin had two assists in a 7-3 victory over the Flyers on Monday.
Impact With his first assist, Malkin became the third player in Penguins history with 500 power-play points (180 goals, 320 assists) in the NHL, joining Mario Lemieux (701) and Sidney Crosby (571). He has four points, including three assists, in his last four games, and 29 (seven goals, 22 assists) in 36 games on the season. But 11 of Malkin's points (two goals, nine assists) came in his first five games. Don't overrate him at this point in his career, especially if you're looking to bolster your lineup for a second-half run.

Tristan Jarry - Seventh win in last 10 starts Jarry made 24 saves on 27 shots in a 7-3 win over the Flyers on Monday.
Impact Jarry's team was strong out of the block, and he was solid throughout. His numbers overall have been queasy, but he's actually 7-2-1 in his last 10 starts. Still, Jarry remains a risk for fantasy managers because he allows far too many goals -- he allowed 30 goals in those 10 games, including four games with four or more goals. Your categories and settings will dictate how much risk you can absorb.

Bryan Rust - Feeling hot, hot, hot Rust had a goal and an assist Monday in a 7-3 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Rust scored on the Pens' first shot of the game, wiring a one-timer past Samuel Ersson from just above the right face-off circle. He's approaching a point-per-game pace right now (27 in 29 games) on the back of a recent 13-game, 19-point run that includes 10 goals. He's put up points in nine of those 13 games. Rust's role on Sidney Crosby's wing makes him a must-play option in all formats.
19 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Michael Bunting - Game finally heating up Bunting scored twice Monday in a 7-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact Bunting's first pushed the Pens up 3-1 in the first period when he tapped in a pass from Evgeni Malkin on the power play. His second pushed the Pens up 5-3 at the end of the second frame. Bunting's start to the season was coated with ice, but he's warmed up with 11 points (five goals, six assists) in his last 11 games. And five of those points have come on the man advantage. Bunting seems to be getting his feet under him, and that's great news for patient managers.
19 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Rickard Rakell - Seven points in last four games Rakell had a goal and two assists in a 7-3 win over Philadelphia on Monday.
Impact He found twine at 11:53 of the first with a wrist shot from the slot after he'd had a goal overturned at the 7:14 mark. Rakell has seven points (three goals, four assists) in his last four games and 29 points, including 16 snipes, in 36 games this season. At this rate, Rakell will challenge his career best 69 points (34 goals, 35 assists) set back in 2017-18. He's a great veteran option for managers seeking a title this season.

Sidney Crosby - Ties team records held by Lemieux Crosby had a goal and three assists Monday in a 7-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact He reached 1,033 NHL assists, which tied Mario Lemieux for the most in Penguins history. Crosby also tied Lemieux in three-point games (183) for the most in franchise history. Sid is coming off two straight 90-plus point seasons, and he's not far off that pace for this year, too. At 37. Crosby has actually put up two four-point seasons in his last three games. His ascent up hockey's Mt. Rushmore continues.

Tristan Jarry - First goalie off Monday Jarry was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll be between the pipes at home against the Flyers.
Impact Jarry has been inconsistent in recent weeks, as he's posted a 3-2-1 record, 2.99 GAA and .887 save percentage over his last six appearances. He took the loss Saturday against the Devils as the Penguins failed to score any goals, but he'll attempt to turn things around in the team's final game before the Christmas break, who rank 17th in the NHL with 3.00 goals per game.
