The Latest Pittsburgh Penguins Speculation The Pittsburgh Penguins’ big comeback may lead to a playoff spot, but speculation continues on the options for Crosby and their goaltenders...
Lars Eller - Available versus Wings Eller (illness) will be an option to face Detroit on Thursday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Impact Eller has scored just one goal in his last 11 outings while adding two helpers and 15 shots. Despite the lack of goals, the veteran center figures to be a lock for the lineup when healthy, especially given his defensive abilities and penalty-killing. In 78 games this season, Eller has picked up 15 goals and 14 assists while averaging 15:57 of ice time.

Alex Nedeljkovic - First goalie off Thursday Nedeljkovic was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Detroit.
Impact Nedeljkovic will be making his 10th consecutive start, having gone undefeated in regulation in his last nine appearances. During that stretch, the 28-year-old backstop is 6-0-3 with a 2.57 GAA and .913 save percentage. As long as Nedeljkovic stays sharp, he figures to be the preferred choice between the pipes for the Penguins down the stretch and, possibly, into the postseason.

Lars Eller - Questionable for Thursday Eller missed Wednesday's morning skate due to an illness and is consequently questionable for Thursday's contest versus Detroit, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
Impact Eller has 15 goals and 29 points in 78 contests this season. If he can't play Thursday, then Radim Zohorna, who was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday, will likely draw into the lineup versus the Red Wings.

Radim Zohorna - Recalled from minors Zohorna was elevated from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.
Impact Zohorna will trade places with Samuel Poulin, who was sent down in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old Zohorna has played in 31 NHL games this season, registering four goals on 38 shots, three assists and 42 shots while averaging 10:04 of ice time. The move is likely more about getting Poulin ice time after he served as a healthy scratch for the previous three games. Still, Zohorna could challenge the likes of Jesse Puljujarvi or Emil Bemstrom for a spot in the lineup against the Wings on Thursday.

Drew O'Connor - Goal in Monday's loss O'Connor scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Impact O'Connor forced overtime with a goal 13:38 into the third period, swiping a loose puck past Ilya Samsonov to tie the game 2-2. It's the first goal and second point in five games for O'Connor after he scored in his previous three contests. The 25-year-old forward is up to 14 goals and 30 points, both career highs, through 75 games this season. O'Connor should offer some upside down the stretch while playing on Pittsburgh's top line with Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust.

Alex Nedeljkovic - Falls in overtime Nedeljkovic allowed three goals on 23 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Impact Nedeljkovic held the Leafs to a pair of goals in regulation, including an Auston Matthews power-play marker, though he'd ultimately wind up with the loss after Jake McCabe scored the game-winner 1:30 into overtime. The defeat snapped a four-game winning streak for Nedeljkovic -- he'd gone 6-0-1 with a .926 save percentage over his previous seven outings while taking over the starting job in Pittsburgh. Overall, the 28-year-old Nedeljkovic is 16-6-7 with a .907 save percentage and 2.82 GAA on the season. He figures to be back between the pipes Thursday when the Penguins host Detroit.
