Status report
The Penguins will dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 5-4 shootout loss at the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday. … Stone, who has missed five games, will be a game-time decision; he wore a noncontact jersey during the Golden Knights morning skate, took line rushes on the first line and worked on the power play. ... If Stone doesn't play, either Saad or Smith, each a forward, will. ... Hanifin and Lauzon will swap defense partners.
