Sidney Crosby - En route to Montreal Crosby (upper body) is traveling to Montreal and will skate Monday as part of Team Canada's ongoing evaluation for the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, Darren Dreger of TSN reports S...

Impact Canada's roster needs to be finalized by 5 p.m. Monday, and according to Dreger, so long as there's been progress in Crosby's recovery, the team may choose to retain the star center and wager on his availability on a game-by-game basis. The 37-year-old skated Saturday but missed Pittsburgh's last two games. Canada's first game will be against Team Sweden on Wednesday.

Danton Heinen - First point since trade Heinen notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Heinen ended his eight-game point drought. This was also his first helper in four appearances since the Canucks traded him to the Penguins in the Marcus Pettersson deal. Heinen is at 19 points, 55 shots on net, 57 hits, 28 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 55 appearances this season. The 29-year-old forward is likely to continue filling a middle-six role for the Penguins, but he's unlikely to score enough to be a strong fantasy option.

Matt Grzelcyk - Adds assist Saturday Grzelcyk notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Grzelcyk has six assists over his last 11 outings. The 31-year-old blueliner continues to enjoy a career year, racking up 28 points, 69 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 57 appearances. He should be able to maintain a top-four role the rest of the way, though he's on a one-year contract and could end up with a smaller role if he's dealt to a contender.

Andrei Kuzmenko - Earns assist in team debut Kuzmenko logged an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Kuzmenko saw 18:53 of ice time in his Flyers debut and may be in line for a larger role with his new team than he was with the Flames. The 29-year-old winger has 16 points, 40 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 38 appearances this season. If Kuzmenko sees top-six minutes regularly and doesn't clash with head coach John Tortorella too much, he could be an interesting offense-only addition in fantasy for the remainder of the season.

Cam York - Posts helper Saturday York notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact York snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 13 points, 53 shots on net, 84 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 44 appearances this season. He continues to see top-four minutes, but his offense is well short of the 30-point pace he set in 2023-24, so his fantasy utility is low.

Erik Karlsson - Collects goal Saturday Karlsson tallied a goal, took four shots on net and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Karlsson netted Pittsburgh's second goal just over four minutes into the second period. The 34-year-old blueliner has six goals, 40 points, 143 shots on target and 73 blocks in 57 appearances this season. While his goal total is slowly rising towards his total of 11 from a year ago, Karlsson ranks 11th among defenders with 32 assists. He is set to play for Team Sweden during the 4 Nations Face-Off and could come back to the Penguins hot with some quality performances in the tournament.

Anthony Beauvillier - Nets goal Saturday Beauvillier scored a goal, took nine shots on net and provided four hits in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Beauvillier's tally was the last goal scored in Saturday's contest and was just one minute after Philadelphia's Travis Konency momentarily gave the Flyers a two-goal lead. His nine shots on net marked his most in a game this season, besting his previous total of seven that he had in Pittsburgh's season opener. Overall, the 27-year-old winger has 11 goals, 18 points, 101 shots on net and 97 hits in 56 games this season. With Evgeni Malkin (lower-body), Bryan Rust (lower-body) and Sidney Crosby (upper-body) missing Saturday's game, it led Beauvillier to grab a spot on the top line and second power-play unit. He is likely to return to a middle-six role once the Penguins are fully healthy but can still make a small impact in fantasy by putting shots on net.
