Downie (upper body) says he will be ready to play Friday against the Islanders, Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. Downie missed the past two games with the injury, but with the Penguins needing all hands on deck in order to secure one of the available playoff spots, it looks like he'll be able to enter the lineup even if it's at less than optimal health. With 14 goals and 28 points over 70 games, Downie has delivered some useful offensive numbers from his bottom-six role, but it's his penchant for skirting the law that has made him a boon for fantasy owners. His 236 penalty minutes lead the league by a wide margin.
