Gardiner (spasms) didn't practice Friday and his status for Saturday's game against the Penguins is unclear, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old blueliner has compiled four goals, 35 points and 77 blocked shots while averaging 22:35 through 59 games. Gardiner is in danger of missing his first game since the 2015-16 season, and if he does, expect Connor Carrick to slot in his place. Expect an update after Saturday's morning skate.
