Status report
Talbot could start after Gibson made 23 saves in a 2-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. ... Chinakhov will likely make his Penguins debut after being acquired in a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday for forward Danton Heinen, a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and a third-round pick in 2027. He would replace Koivunen at third-line right wing.
