Status report
The Penguins did not hold a morning skate following their 6-3 win against the St. Louis Blues on Monday. Silovs will start after Jarry made 26 saves against the Blues, and Pickering was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League and will play, replacing Brunicke on defense. … The Flyers held an optional morning skate. Forward Jett Luchanko was assigned to Guelph of the Ontario Hockey League on Monday. … Sanheim missed practice Monday for a maintenance day but skated briefly Tuesday and will play. … Deslauriers and Zamula will play, replacing Grebenkin, a forward, and Ginning, a defenseman. … Ristolainen could start practicing “pretty soon,” and play in 4-6 weeks, general manager Daniel Briere said Monday. The defenseman had surgery to repair a ruptured right triceps tendon March 26 and was expected to need six months to recover. … Andrae, a defenseman, was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League.
