Jansen Harkins - Taken off injured reserve Harkins (hand) has been taken off injured reserve ahead of Monday's clash with Nashville, per the NHL media site.
Impact Harkins will likely move into a bottom-six role against the Predators, with both Emil Bemstrom and Valtteri Puustinen candidates to be dropped from the lineup. Before suffering his hand problem, Harkins was stuck in an 18-game pointless streak and has yet to score a goal in 43 games this season.

Impact Nedljkovic struggled in his last start Saturday against the Bruins, surrendering three goals on just 16 shots before being replaced by Tristan Jarry midway through the second period of the eventual 6-4 defeat. Nedeljkovic will try to get back in the win column and keep the Penguins' playoff hopes alive in a tough home matchup with a Nashville squad that's 24-13-3 on the road this year.

Jansen Harkins - Available against Preds Harkins (hand) is an option to face Nashville on Monday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Impact Harkins still needs to be activated off injured reserve for him to get into the lineup against the Predators. If the winger does suit up, it could come at the expense of Valtteri Puustinen or Radim Zohorna. The 26-year-old Ohio native hasn't played since March 7 versus the Capitals, a stretch of 19 games on the shelf due to his hand injury.

Marcus Pettersson - Contributes helper Pettersson notched an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Pettersson snapped a four-game slump with the helper. The 27-year-old has had some productive moments this season, but he's often just a physical presence in a top-four role. For the season, he's generated a career-high 29 points with 104 shots on net, 120 hits, 156 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-27 rating through 80 contests.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Lars Eller - Adds shorthanded assist Eller logged a shorthanded assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Eller set up a Drew O'Connor goal in the third period. The 34-year-old Eller hasn't shown a lot of consistency on offense, rarely getting on the scoresheet multiple games in a row. He's still managed 30 points (five on the power play, two shorthanded) with 151 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 54 hits and a minus-2 rating through 80 contests in a third-line role.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Rickard Rakell - Offers helper Saturday Rakell notched an assist in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Rakell is warm with three goals and three assists over his last eight contests. That increase in production has earned him a larger role in recent games. The streaky winger is at 36 points, 161 shots on goal, 109 hits and a plus-4 rating through 68 appearances this season, playing mainly on the second line.

Erik Karlsson - Earns assist in 1,000th game Karlsson posted a power-play assist, five shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-4 rating in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Karlsson became the newest member of the 1,000-game club Saturday. His stat line was reflective of his career -- he generated some offense on the power play, but struggled defensively. The 33-year-old has two goals and five assists over his last six appearances, which came on the heels of a seven-game slump. The defenseman is at 53 points (16 on the power play), 202 shots on net, 98 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 80 contests this season.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Evgeni Malkin - Helps out on power play Malkin logged a power-play assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Malkin has racked up four goals and four assists over seven games in April, with just two of those points coming on the power play. The center is at 64 points (17 on the power play), 189 shots on net, 70 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 80 outings overall. Malkin won't come anywhere near his 83-point campaign from last season, but he's been steady as the second-line center while enjoying a second straight year of good health.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Sidney Crosby - Tacks on helper Crosby registered an assist and four hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Crosby helped out on a Bryan Rust tally in the second period. The 36-year-old Crosby just reached 1,000 career assists Thursday versus the Red Wings, and he's not slowing down the Penguins in an intense battle for a playoff spot. The superstar center has 21 points over the last 11 games, and he's at 90 points, 268 shots on net, 98 hits and a plus-9 rating through 80 contests overall.

Bryan Rust - Lights lamp Saturday Rust scored a goal on seven shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Rust has been in fine form over the last month with 10 goals and nine assists over his last 16 contests. His tally got the Penguins on the board in the second period, but they weren't able to keep up with the Bruins' scoring frenzy in the middle frame. Rust has 28 goals, 55 points, 187 shots and a plus12 rating through 60 contests overall. Despite another year marred by significant injury absences, he's just three points shy of matching his career high of 58 from the 2021-22 campaign with two contests to go.
