Penguins play the Rangers after Dewar's 2-goal performance

The Pittsburgh Penguins host the New York Rangers after Connor Dewar's two-goal game against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Penguins' 6-2 win

13 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Kevin Hayes - Stuck in press box Hayes was scratched for the 14th time in 16 games in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Hayes has found himself firmly in the press box in January, and it's unclear what it would take for him to carve out a spot in the lineup. The 33-year-old will be ready on a moment's notice, but the Penguins are working on incorporating more young players in the lineup. Hayes hasn't helped his own cause this season, earning five points, 39 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-5 rating over 23 appearances.

Ilya Solovyov - Gets first helper with new team Solovyov recorded an assist and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact This was Solovyov's debut for the Penguins after he was traded from the Avalanche earlier in the month. The 25-year-old didn't have to wait long for his first point, setting up Ryan Shea's goal in the second period. Solovyov has a total of four points, 14 shots on net, 20 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 17 appearances this season. He may get to play regularly while Ryan Graves (lower body), Jack St. Ivany (hand) and Caleb Jones (lower body) are out, though Connor Clifton is also in the mix for third-pairing minutes.

Blake Lizotte - Bags two apples in win Lizotte notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Lizotte has a pair of two-assist efforts over his last five games. The 28-year-old forward has found a steady role in the Penguins' bottom six and on the penalty kill. For the season, he's at 15 points, 42 shots on net, 36 hits, 23 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 43 appearances. Lizotte doesn't have much fantasy appeal outside of deep formats.

Noel Acciari - Garners two assists Acciari notched two assists, four shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Acciari ended a five-game slump with the pair of helpers, both coming on Connor Dewar's goals. This was Acciari's first multi-point effort of the season. He's at 13 points in 39 appearances, one point better than what he did in 79 contests in 2024-25. The 34-year-old has added 49 shots on net, 43 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating while playing in a fourth-line role.

Yegor Chinakhov - Puts away goal Thursday Chinakhov scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Chinakhov has three goals and an assist during a four-game point streak. The 24-year-old is thriving on the second line and has seen 15-plus minutes of ice time in four of his last six outings. For the season, the winger has nine goals, 14 points, 61 shots on net, 36 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 43 contests between the Penguins and the Blue Jackets, though his eight points in 14 appearances for Pittsburgh suggests he's trending up.

Ryan Shea - One of each Thursday Shea scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and logged two hits in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Shea has a goal and four assists during his four-game point streak. While the Penguins' defense is nearly at full health again, Shea has remained productive from the third pairing. He's up to three goals, 21 points, 51 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-21 rating over 52 appearances. Shea's stats don't jump off the page, but he's been steady enough to help in deep fantasy formats.

Arturs Silovs - Tenth win of season Silovs made 18 saves in a 6-2 win over Chicago on Thursday.

Impact It was Silovs' 10th win of the season. He is 6-1-2 in his last eight starts, including wins over Montreal, Edmonton and Detroit. Silovs in a time share with Stuart Skinner, who has put up a 7-2-0 record in his last nine games. He's a solid activation in dailies.

14 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ben Kindel - Joins impressive company with goal Kindel scored a goal and an assist in Pittsburgh's 6-2 win over Chicago on Thursday.

Impact Kindel has four points in his last two games. He had two goals on Sunday. He is now the third 18-year-old to score in consecutive games for the Penguins in the past 35 years. Who are the other two? Sidney Crosby (seven times in 2005-06) and Jordan Staal (four times in 2006-07). Kindel has 24 points (11 goals, 13 assists) in 49 games this season. That puts him in a tie for seventh in the NHL in the rookie scoring chase.

Connor Dewar - Two goal, four hit night Dewar scored two goals in a 6-2 win over the Blackhawks on Thursday. He added four hits.

Impact The forward has 13 goals, eight assists, 80 shots and 95 hits in 52 games this season. Dewar is a fourth-line winger who has surprising fantasy value with his goals-hits combination. It's always a bit of roll of the dice if you're trying to pad that bruise category -- it's tempting to stick in a pylon. But a guy like Dewar, who seems to have decent hands, could deliver you a boost. That is, if you can plug him and let him ride. Trying to market time activations on guys like this are impossible.

15 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Mantha - Three-game, six-point streak Mantha had a goal and two assists in a 6-2 win over Chicago on Thursday.

Impact Mantha is on a bit of a roll. He has put up points (three goals, three assists) and fired six shots on his current three-game scoring streak, and he has eight points, including five assists, in his last five games. Mantha continues to flirt with a 60-point season, which would obliterate his previous career high in points (48 in both 2017-18 and 2018-19). That's incredible production for a third-line winger skating beside a rookie center (Ben Kindel).

Evgeni Malkin - Good to go versus Hawks Malkin (undisclosed) will be in action against Chicago on Thursday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Impact Malkin appeared to be injured versus Vancouver on Sunday, but he will remain in the lineup for Thursday's tilt. Since returning from a previous upper-body injury, the 39-year-old center has been rolling offensively with five goals and six helpers, including two power-play points, in his last 10 outings. The natural center will continue to feature on the wing of Thomas Novak on Pittsburgh's second line.

Arturs Silovs - Slated to start Thursday Silovs was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice and is expected to defend the home cage versus Chicago on Thursday, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Jos...

Impact Silovs snapped a three-game winless streak Jan. 22, turning aside 30 shots in a 6-2 win over Edmonton. Silovs is 9-6-8 with a 3.00 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 23 outings this season. The Blackhawks are producing 2.66 goals per game, 26th in the NHL.

Jack St. Ivany - Placed on injured reserve St. Ivany (hand surgery) was put on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact St. Ivany was injured Jan. 25 and had surgery two days later. He is expected to miss up to eight weeks. St. Ivany had seven assists, 40 hits and 23 blocked shots over 17 NHL appearances this season. The Penguins recalled Rutger McGroarty from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in a corresponding move.

Rutger McGroarty - Brought up from minors McGroarty was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.

Impact McGroarty could be pressed into service for Thursday's clash with Chicago while Bryan Rust is serving his three-game suspension. If the 21-year-old McGroarty does play, he could find himself slotting into a first-line role alongside Sidney Crosby in order to keep the rest of the Penguins' lines intact.
