Status report
With Romanov, a defenseman, not playing, he could be replaced on the top defense pair by Pelech, who is expected to return from missing a 4-2 win against the Florida Panthers on Sunday because of a lower-body injury. ... Jarry will start a fifth straight game for Pittsburgh. ... Koppanen, a forward, was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on an emergency basis because Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said a few of their players are "nicked up."
