Taylor Pyatt scored a goal in Pittsburgh's 3-2 loss to Los Angeles. Pyatt has found the back of the net in two straight games. He typically doesn't do much offensively though and only has five points in 48 contests this season.

Taylor Pyatt was a healthy scratch on Sunday as the Penguins went with seven defensemen and only 11 forwards. Deryk Engelland was the seventh blueliner and he is also capable of playing up front as the Penguins have used him as a fourth line winger on occasion. Pyatt has only two goals in 24 games this season so fantasy-wise it is not important that he missed Sunday's game.

Taylor Pyatt returned to action on Thursday February 27.

Taylor Pyatt (lower body) practiced on Sunday. Pyatt missed the last game before the break with the injury and practiced on Friday before the team was given Saturday off. He is definitely a bottom six forward as his two goals and three points in 36 games attest to. He is questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Montreal Canadiens.

Taylor Pyatt (lower body) took part in Friday's practice. "I felt pretty good for my first practice," Pyatt said. "See how it reacts after a hard skate today, then a day off (Saturday) and then another hard skate on Monday." He missed the Penguins' final two games before the Olympic break. Pyatt has two goals and three points in 36 games this season.

Taylor Pyatt is dealing with a lower-body injury. Pyatt will miss the Penguins' final two games before the Olympic break as a result. He has two goals and three points in 36 games in 2013-14.

Taylor Pyatt is enjoying his time with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Pyatt was claimed off waivers from the Rangers on January 2 and is finding out how good it is to play with the Penguins during their current road trip. "I think this trip has been a great thing for me," Pyatt said. "It's tough when you go to a new team, but honestly the guys here have been so great. Just getting to know some of the guys, going out to dinner and spending some time together on the road, has been a great thing. And the really nice thing is that everyone is so nice to you when you come here. A guy like Sid, who is such of a star, doesn't act like one. He's just one of the guys and treated me so well from the first day I came here." Coach Dan Bylsma said that Pyatt will get an opportunity to be a bottom six forward so his fantasy value is negligible.

Pittsburgh has claimed Taylor Pyatt off waivers from the New York Rangers. He had one assist in 22 games with the Rangers this season prior to ending up on the waiver wire. Pyatt's fantasy value is unlikely to rise with the Penguins.

Taylor Pyatt has been waived by the New York Rangers. Pyatt has an assist and 10 penalty minutes in 22 games this season. He's in the second season of a two-year/$3.1 million contract.

Taylor Pyatt will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday. This is Pyatt's second straight game in the press box and the fifth time in nine contests that he won't be in the lineup. "Right now he's on the outside," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. "After a strong training camp, he was given a lot of opportunities, whether it be on one of the top two lines, third, fourth, and never really after training camp got his game going. Right now, he's on the outside looking in, and I'm not quite sure where all that's gonna go." It obviously didn't help matters that Pyatt missed some time this season due to a concussion.
