Erik Karlsson - Expected back for Opening Night Karlsson (upper body) continues to be classified as day-to-day but should be available for Opening Night against the Rangers on Oct. 9 after coach Mike Sullivan told reporters Thur...
Impact Karlsson has yet to get onto the ice during training camp due to his lingering upper-body issue. The fact that Sullivan used the term confident multiple times actually could be more concerning for fantasy players, as it still leaves things up in the air. If Karlsson were to miss any game action, it would likely fall to Kris Letang to suit up with the No. 1 power-play unit while Sebastian Aho could make the Opening Night roster.

Filip Kral - Officially day-to-day Kral was labeled day-to-day with a lower-body injury Wednesday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Impact Considering Kral had to be helped off the ice in Tuesday's preseason clash with the Sabres, the fact that he is considered day-to-day certainly seems to be good news. The 24-year-old defenseman was unlikely to make the Opening Night roster, but this injury will only serve to further cement his status as an AHL player to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Jonathan Gruden - Has upper-body injury Gruden has sustained an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day, per Wes Crosby of NHL.com on Wednesday.
Impact Gruden had a goal in 13 games with Pittsburgh in 2023-24. He's fighting for a roster spot, but there's a good chance the 24-year-old will begin the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Filip Kral - Leaves game favoring left leg Kral left Tuesday's preseason game versus the Sabres with a left leg injury, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Impact Head coach Mike Sullivan had no update on Kral's status after the game. Kral is unlikely to make the Opening Night roster for the Penguins, but if his injury is severe, he could go on season-opening injured reserve.

Alex Nedeljkovic - Gets starting nod Tuesday Nedeljkovic will be between the pipes at home versus Buffalo on Tuesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Impact Nedeljkovic saw action in 38 games for the Penguins last year, including starting 14 straight to close out the season in which he posted an 8-1-3 record, 3.00 GAA and .899 sav percentage. Having re-signed with the team for another two years, the 28-year-old netminder still comes into the campaign as the No. 2 option, but clearly, starter Tristan Jarry is on a short leash and Nedeljkovic could play his way into a split share.

Joel Blomqvist - Set for preseason action Blomqvist will defend the road net Saturday in exhibition action against Buffalo.
Impact Blomqvist provided a 25-12-6 record with a 2.16 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 45 regular-season contests for AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2023-24. The 22-year-old netminder will probably begin the upcoming campaign in the minors because Tristan Jarry and Alex Nedeljkovic rank ahead of him on the goaltending depth chart.

Erik Karlsson - Skates on his own Saturday Karlsson (upper body) skated on his own before practice Saturday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Karlsson was unable to skate when the Penguins opened training camp Wednesday, so he is trending in the right direction. Karlsson is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season Oct, 9 versus the Rangers. He had 56 points in his first season with the Penguins in 82 games as Pittsburgh failed to make the playoffs. Karlsson had a career-high 101 points in 2022-23 for San Jose and is likely to be around the 70-point mark this season, if he can remain healthy.
