Penguins Lineup
The Penguins' roster is a good mix of players battling for spots. Filip Hallander remains in the lineup and has been a consistent presence.
The team will also dress expected NHL regulars Tommy Novak and Ville Koivunen .
The players battling for a spot will also get some of the spotlight as Rafael Harvey-Pinard , Philip Tomasino , and Robby Fabbri , who is on a PTO, are also again in the lineup.
Fabbri has played well in his opportunities. So, too, has Harvey-Pinard. Tomasino had one of his best games last Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets , eventually scoring a power play goal in the third period for the game-winner.
Tristan Jarry and Filip Larsson are the goalies. Coach Dan Muse has thus far split each game between the goalies, including Saturday, when Sergei Murasov played the first two periods, and Marc-Andre Fleury played the third.
Fleury was on a PTO that was largely a ceremonial contract so he could play a retirement game, which was flawlessly executed by the organization.
