The Pittsburgh Penguins are in Toronto, Canada to take on the Maple Leafs.
The Penguins are dealing with some injuries. Dominick Simon and Bryan Rust join the list. Simon is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, while Rust has been diagnosed with a concussion. They join Zach Aston-Reese and Matt Murray, who are both progressing well.
With the hole in the lineup, Josh Jooris will slot in as he was recalled from Wilkes-Barre Scranton.
Tonight, the Penguins need to focus on putting forth a consistent effort in this game and keep pushing forward even with the injuries. Lets Go Pens!
