Status report

The Penguins did not hold a morning skate. ... Letang will be a game-time decision; he left the 6-1 loss to the New York Rangers early in the third period Saturday because of a lower-body injury. Letang practiced on the left side with Brunicke on Monday after playing on the right side with Shea the first three games, and he also practiced with the second power-play unit. ... Hayes, who was injured on the first day of training camp, is on the three-game California trip that begins in Anaheim, but the forward still has more steps remaining in his recovery, Penguins coach Dan Muse said Monday. ... Dumba is expected to make his season debut after being a healthy scratch the first three games. ... Tomasino is expected to return after being a healthy scratch the past two games. ... Acciari, a forward, rotated with Hallander on the fourth line during practice Monday. ... Terry and Killorn switched spots during the 7-6 overtime win at the San Jose Sharks on Saturday; those lines remained during practice Monday and at the morning skate.
