It is unclear what impact this may have on Cullen's status for Wednesday's matchup with the Blackhawks, but with the number of banged up players in the Burgh, losing a veteran like Cullen -- even for one game -- would be a big setback. The 40-year-old has been lighting it up recently with two goals and three assists in his previous six contests, including a marker on the power play, where he is only averaging 0:23 of ice time per contest. If the winger is unable to suit up Wednesday, the Pens may need to call up a player from the minors to fill out the game-day roster.
