Owen Pickering - Earns helper in debut Pickering logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
Impact While it was a fairly tame first assignment, Pickering was able to handle third-pairing duties in the absence of Kris Letang (illness). It didn't take long for Pickering to earn his first point, as he helped out on a Jesse Puljujarvi tally in the first period. Pickering won't solve all of the Penguins' defensive problems, but he has a chance to make a push to stick around after failing to make the team out of camp. The 20-year-old blueliner is unlikely to be a future fantasy stud, but he's a heady player who should be a benefit in his own zone now and in future seasons for Pittsburgh.

Jesse Puljujarvi - Nets goal in shootout win Puljujarvi scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
Impact The tally ended his five-game point drought. Puljujarvi has a tenuous grip on a spot in the lineup, but the Penguins' lack of better options has allowed him to stay in regularly. The winger is at two goals, seven points, 27 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-2 rating over 17 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Bryan Rust - Finds twine Saturday Rust scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
Impact Rust has three points, 12 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over five games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The winger is at five goals, two assists, 36 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 13 contests this season. His offense should increase, but the Penguins' poor play defensively and in goal could lead to some ugly peripheral stats for the 32-year-old.

Sidney Crosby - One goal away from milestone Crosby scored a goal on six shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
Impact Crosby's tally came in the second period to give the Penguins a 3-0 lead. The 37-year-old is up to 599 career goals, and he had plenty of looks at No. 600 that didn't go in Saturday's game. His next goal would make him the 21st player to reach that milestone. Crosby is having another strong campaign with seven tallies, 12 assists, 65 shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-5 rating through 20 appearances.

Alex Nedeljkovic - Hangs on for shootout win Nedeljkovic turned aside 26 shots in regulation and overtime and three of five shootout attempts in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Impact The Penguins held a 3-0 lead early in the second period, but as has been the case too often this season the defense couldn't stop the opposition from mounting a comeback, and Nedeljkovic needed to come up big just to get the game to OT. It's his first win since Nov. 2, and on the season he's gone 3-3-3 over 10 appearances with a 3.17 GAA and .886 save percentage. Nedeljkovic will likely remain in a timeshare with Tristan Jarry unless one of them heats up and pushes their way into the No. 1 job.
