Pretty goal ends up winner Matheson scored the game-winning goal Thursday in a 4-1 victory over the Penguins.
Impact It was a pretty end-to-end rush for the defender. He roared down the right side, burst past the defender while protecting the puck and drove hard at Dan Vladar. Matheson slid the puck wide and around the sprawling netminder, and pushed it home. It was a Sports Center moment for sure. Matheson has gotten warm of late -- he has four points in his last five games.

Long overdue road win DeSmith made 30 saves in a 4-1 over Boston on Thursday.
Impact The only goal that got past him was a Brad Marchand redirect from the left side of the slot. DeSmith earns the distinction of being in the blue paint when the Pens snapped a 10-game road losing streak -- dating back to 2014 -- against the Bruins. DeSmith will continue to be the top tender while Tristan Jarry (upper body) remains sidelined.

Shifts to taxi squad Zohorna was re-assigned to the taxi squad Thursday.
Impact Zohorna has played in two games for the Penguins this year, recording a goal, two shots on net and four hits. The 24-year-old will watch Thursday's game against the Bruins from the press box.

Unavailable Thursday Jarry (upper body) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Bruins, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Casey DeSmith was already named the starter, so Maxime Lagace will serve as the backup in Jarry's place. Jarry is traveling with the team, so he could be back in action for Saturday's road rematch against the B's.

Sent to minors Almeida was assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
Impact Almeida was with the big club for just one day. The 22-year-old has yet to play an NHL game. He's posted two goals through 12 career AHL apperances.
APRIL 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Elevated to active roster Lagace was recalled to the active roster Thursday and will back up Casey DeSmith against the Bruins on Thursday.
Impact Lagace last featured in an NHL game back in 2018-19 when he was with the Golden Knights and gave up four goals on 31 shots in a losing effort. With Tristan Jarry (upper body) unavailable, Lagace figures to serve as the No. 2 option behind DeSmith but is unlikely to make any starts for the Pens.

Activated off injured reserve Tanev (upper body) was removed from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's clash with Boston.
Impact While officially designated a game-time call, Tanev's activation all but guarantees he will be in action versus the Bruins. The winger figures to retake his spot on the third line alongside Frederick Gaudreau and Zach Aston-Reese. Prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old Tanev racked up two goals on 11 shots and six helpers in his previous eight outings while averaging 14:36 of ice time.

Traveling with team Jarry (upper body) joined the team for its six-game road trip.
Impact Jarry is riding a three-game winning streak during which he recorded a 2.15 GAA and .923 save percentage. The 25-year-old netminder won't get the start versus Boston on Thursday but could be an option sooner rather than later. If Jarry isn't available to back up Casey DeSmith against the Bruins, Max Lagace or Emil Larmi will need to be recalled from the taxi squad.

Officially ruled out Thursday Blueger (upper body) won't be an option against Boston on Thursday.
Impact Blueger will be on the shelf for his ninth straight outing due to his lingering upper-body issue. With Evgeni Malkin (lower body) also on the sidelines, the Pens will utilize Jared McCann and Frederick Gaudreau on the second and third lines, respectively. Once cleared to play, Blueger should be back in a bottom-six role and could link back up with Zach Aston-Reese and Brandon Tanev (upper body).
