Acciari returned to fourth-line center in practice Sunday after being a late scratch Saturday with an upper-body injury for a 3-2 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. ... Pittsburgh altered its bottom two defense pairs Sunday. Graves returned to a pair with Karlsson, bumping Joseph to the third with Ruhwedel.
