Spaling will serve as a second-line left winger next to Evgeni Malkin and Patric Hornqvist on Tuesday. He saw time on the team's No. 2 line Saturday and set Malkin up for his goal against the Rangers. With Pascal Dupuis (undisclosed) sidelined Tuesday, Spaling will continue seeing top-six minutes. Whenever the team gets healthier, look for the former Preds forward to move in and out of Pittsburgh's top-six on a game-by-game basis. He's totaled five points (2G,3A) in 16 contests thus far in 2014-15.
