Bodies have been dropping all over for the Penguins as of late, and the less games they have to play while some of these guys heal up then it's all for the better. In the meantime, fans will have to sit tight and hope once the Penguins do return to action on Thursday, some help arrives in the form of fresh bodies.
Coming off a few tough weeks of hockey to begin the season, the Penguins are granted some much needed rest this week, getting four days off with only a pair of contests on the schedule later in the week. Adding to that, when action does resume, reinforcements could be coming as well. [ Pensburgh ]
It's been a difficult start to the season for Rickard Rakell with only two goals to his name through the first 12 games. Saturday against Nashville was easily Rakell's best game of the season to date and the kind of game the Penguins will need more out of their top line winger. [ Pensburgh ]
An array of injuries up and down the Penguins roster has opened opportunities for players being called up to make an impression. Although he's waiting for his NHL debut, defenseman Chase Pietila is hoping to make the most of his time with the big club. [ Trib Live ]
