Status report
Korpisalo could start after Swayman made 22 saves in a 3-1 win against the Washington Capitals on Saturday. ... Pittsburgh is expected to play a second straight game without forwards Crosby and Malkin. Crosby should miss a seventh straight game; Malkin will serve the second of a five-game suspension for a slash to the head of Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin on Thursday. ... Silovs will likely start after Skinner made 12 saves in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.
