The Penguins have a number of players sitting for \u201cinjuries\u201d today against the Capitals and are considered day-to-day: Sidney Crosby\u00a0(lower-body), Ben Kindel\u00a0(upper-body) Evgeni Malkin (upper-body), Bryan Rust\u00a0(lower-body), Parker Wotherspoon (upper-body), Erik Karlsson (lower-body), Kris Letang\u00a0(upper-body).<\/p>\n
Connor Dewar\u00a0(lower-body) is considered week to week.<\/p>\n
Ville Koivunen, Rutger McGroarty\u00a0and Joona Koppanen\u00a0were recalled on an emergency basis as a result.<\/p>\n
With the exception of Dewar, the Penguins are seemingly just resting guys who are dealing with bumps and bruises before the playoffs. They have to be \u201cinjured\u201d in order to use emergency recalls.<\/p>\n
The Penguins also have Kevin Hayes, Ryan Graves, Ilya Solovyov,\u00a0Jack St. Ivany\u00a0and\u00a0Jake Livanavage\u00a0as reinforcements already on the roster as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Penguins have a number of players sitting for \u201cinjuries\u201d today against the Capitals and are considered day-to-day:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":430415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[201663,385,15550,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-578399","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-feed-article","9":"tag-nhl","10":"tag-penguins","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=578399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=578399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=578399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
