Status report
The Penguins will use the same lineup from their 4-2 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. … Jarry will start for the third time in four games. ... Rutta and Pettersson, each a defenseman, wore no-contact jerseys during Pittsburgh's morning skate. Rutta has missed nine games, Pettersson eight. ... Bastian is expected to return after missing 11 games because of an upper-body injury and would replace Sharangovich, a forward. ... Vanecek is expected to make his fourth start in five games.
