Galchenyuk scored a goal and tallied an assist to come away with two points in Monday's 3-2 overtime win versus Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk's power-play goal in the opening period brought the two teams level at one goal apiece. He also collected the lone assist on Jared McCann's go-ahead goal. The 25-year-old has posted six points in his last six appearances, giving Galchenyuk nine points in 15 games this season.

Galchenyuk picked up an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime defeat to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk may be riding a three-game point streak, but fans and fantasy owners alike will continue to be frustrated by the fact that the winger has yet to score a goal in the Black & Gold. The Milwaukee native should continue to get looks on the power play, but will need to open his goal account soon to avoid ending up on general manager Jim Rutherford's trade board.

Galchenyuk (lower body) was activated off injured reserve prior to Pittsburgh's matchup with Philadelphia on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk -- who was officially deemed a game-time call for Tuesday's tilt -- figures to slot into a second-line role alongside Nick Bjugstad and Patric Hornqvist. With Evgeni Malkin (lower body) still out of the lineup, Galchenyuk should link up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Prior to getting hurt, the winger notched two assists in three games, but is still looking for his first goal with the Penguins.

Galchenyuk (lower body) skated in a second-line role at practice Monday and will be a game-time decision versus the Flyers on Tuesday, Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop reports.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk got off to a decent start to the season, as he notched two assists, six shots and eight hits in three games. After a nine-game stint on the shelf, the winger appears close to getting back into action Tuesday. The Milwaukee, Wisconsin native could be an option for the second power-play unit in addition to his top-six role.

Galchenyuk (lower body) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk logged a full practice Friday but will take additional rest before getting back into the lineup. Since he's working at full speed, Galchenyuk figures to be ready for Tuesday's game against the Flyers.

Galchenyuk (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (lower body) were spotted on the ice in full equipment prior to Monday's practice, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both injured players are likely just getting in some early conditioning work and probably won't participate in practice, but the fact that Galchenyuk is skating again supports the notion that he's not in danger of a long-term absence. Galchenyuk has missed six games due to the lower-body injury and seems likely to remain out for the Penguins' three-game road trip this week, but a late-October return still isn't out of the question.

The Penguins placed Galchenyuk (lower body) on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk was originally considered day-to-day, so it appears as though his lower-body injury may be more serious than initially expected. The Penguins have yet to release a specific timetable for the 25-year-old's recovery, but he'll miss the team's next three games at a minimum. Adam Johnson was recalled in a corresponding move Wednesday, so he'll round out Pittsburgh's depth up front for the foreseeable future.

Galchenyuk (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Ducks, Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Add Galchenyuk to the extensive list of injured players in Pittsburgh, as the team currently has just 10 healthy forwards. They'll need to bring up more players from the minors to fill the void, and they hope Galchenyuk will be ready for Saturday's road game versus the Wild.

Galchenyuk is labeled day-to-day with a lower-body injury ahead of Thursday's contest against the Ducks, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk continues to be plagued by a nagging issue, which led to his absence from Wednesday's morning skate. He will get another night's rest before a final decision on his status for Thursday's tilt is made. If he can't go, the Penguins will likely be forced to either summon reinforcements from the minors or roll with an extra defenseman.

Galchenyuk picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Both helpers came in a five-goal second period for the Pens that put the game out of reach. Galchenyuk hasn't scored more than 19 goals since 2015-16 and has generally been something of a disappointment in his career after being the third overall pick in the 2012 draft, but the 25-year-old is seeing consistent power-play time in the early going and could be headed for a productive first season with Pittsburgh.
