Status report
The Penguins did not hold a morning skate Saturday after Blomqvist made 46 saves in a 4-0 loss at the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. ... Goalie Tristan Jarry was assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on a conditioning loan Saturday. … Glass, a forward, left the game at Edmonton after two periods because of illness, but there was no update after the game and Puustinen, who has played one game this season, is the only extra Pittsburgh forward. … Forbort, a defenseman, is away from the Canucks for a fourth straight game for personal reasons but coach Rick Tocchet said he was expected to rejoin the team later Saturday.
