Friedman (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Stars, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman was injured in practice Monday, and he wasn't able to get fit in time to play a day later. The 25-year-old's absence gives Mike Matheson and Chad Ruhwedel to serve as the third pairing. The Penguins' next game is Saturday, so Friedman is likely questionable for that contest.
