Schultz (undisclosed) was injured in the first period of Tuesday's game against the Flames and did not return to the bench to start the second, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz attempted to hit Mikael Backlund but came up worse for wear after the play and immediately went to the locker room. The Penguins will likely finish Tuesday's game with five defensemen. Should Schultz miss additional time, Juuso Riikola probably enters the lineup in his place.

Schultz (undisclosed) was removed from injured reserve Friday ahead of the Pens' clash with Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz should slot back into the second power-play unit, where he's averaging 3:09 of ice time. Injuries have limited the 29-year-old to just 21 games this year, but he's managed to record eight points in those outings. With the blueliner ready to go, Zach Trotman has been shipped down to the minors and Juuso Riikola figures to be back up in the press box.

Schultz (undisclosed) will be a game-time call versus Arizona on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz missed the previous seven games due to his undisclosed injury, but he appears to be nearing a return to the lineup. If the blueliner does suit up, he will almost certainly rejoin the power play, where he is averaging 3:09 of ice time and has recorded three of his eight points. If he can avoid any more stints on the sidelines, Schultz should be capable of challenging for the 30-point mark this year.

Schultz (undisclosed) said it's unlikely he plays Wednesday against the Blues but feels he'll be ready after a few more practices, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz has already missed six games but shouldn't be out much longer. The 29-year-old was off to a mediocre start before his injury, posting eight points and 55 shots on net over 21 contests.

Coach Mike Sullivan indicated Thursday that Schultz "is out longer-term with a lower-body injury."

EDGE Analysis

Schultz hasn't produced on the power play as much as he had in previous seasons early in 2019-20, but he does own a respectable eight points (two goals and six assists) through 21 contests. Without him available for the foreseeable future, Chad Ruhwehdel and Zach Trotman are the likely candidates to see additional action, albeit with much less fantasy upside.

Schultz exited Wednesday's practice session early and coach Mike Sullivan wasn't able to provide an update afterwards, Michelle Crechiolo of Pens Inside Scoop reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was not immediately clear what may be affecting Schultz, but any absence from the blue line would be bad news for the Penguins who are already without Kris Letang (lower body). If Schultz is unable to play versus the Islanders on Thursday, Chad Ruhwedel would get the opportunity to suit up in his first game this season while John Marino could get bumped up to the top power-play unit.

Schultz scored his second goal of the season in a 3-2 overtime loss to New York on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Through 18 games, the 29-year-old has scored a pair of goals to go along with six assists, for a total of eight points. Schultz appears unlikely to ever duplicate his 51-point campaign from 2016-17, but because of his involvement in Pittsburgh's power-play plans, he remains a serviceable asset in fantasy, especially in deeper formats.

Schultz scored his first goal of the season with three shots on net, plus-2 rating and one hit in a 7-1 victory against the Flyers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old actually started the scoring in the Penguins blowout win. Schultz isn't on pace to approach his career best 12 goals or 51 points from three seasons ago, but his decent start has him on track to post his best numbers since that season if he stays healthy. Schultz has one goal and six points with a plus-3 rating in 13 games this season.

Schultz did not record a point in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Vegas. He played 23:03 and finished with a minus-2 rating.

EDGE Analysis

The Penguins' defenseman has five helpers on the year but continues to come up empty in his quest for a goal. Schultz will try to open his goal account Tuesday when Pittsburgh travels to Sunrise, Florida to face the Panthers.

Schultz earned a power-play assist in Saturday's win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz has recorded 10 shots on goal through the first two games, but is still looking for his first marker of the year. The blueliner is averaging over 20 minutes of ice time, which includes 3:36 on the man advantage. The 29-year-old should be capable of topping the 20-point limit this year and could even challenge for 40 once again.
