Schultz scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist during Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders in Game 1 of their first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

The blueliner's tally with 89 seconds left in the third period sent the game to OT, but the Pens couldn't finish things off to steal a win on the road. Schultz doesn't have the dazzling postseason resume of some of his teammates, but he's scored a solid six goals and 27 points in 49 career playoff games -- with half of that production (four goals and 13 points) coming on the power play.

Schultz snagged a pair of assists in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over the Caps.

EDGE Analysis

Since returning from injury, Schultz garnered nine points in his previous 13 contests and has filled in well for the injured Kris Letang (upper body). Once Tanger is back, the 28-year-old Schultz could see slightly reduced minutes and could fall to the second power-play unit.

Schultz registered an assist in Thursday's clash with Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz is goalless in his last five outings but has racked up four assists over the stretch. The blueliner is averaging 22:47 of ice time since returning from his leg injury, which includes 2:12 on the top power-play unit. Once Kris Letang (upper body) is cleared to play, Schultz could find himself bumped down to the second power-play group, though he should continue to log big minutes.

Schultz picked up two assists, both on the power play, in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

That's now six points (one goal, five helpers) in seven games for Schultz since returning to action from a broken leg, with three of his assists coming with the man advantage. Once Kris Letang (upper body) is back on the ice, however, Schultz's power-play time will be reduced, making it tough for him to maintain that pace even given the talent around him on the Pens' roster.

Schultz tallied an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Since returning from a fractured leg, Schultz has racked up four points in his last six games while averaging 21:53 of ice time. With Kris Letang (upper body) dealing with an injury, the Pens will lean heavily on Schultz to provide offensive production on the blue line. The 28-year-old figures to remain on the top power-play unit during Letang's absence as well.

Schultz scored a goal and registered 30:02 TOI during a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss to the Flyers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

In his fifth game back (lower leg) after missing 53 contests, Schultz was called upon to play an absurd amount because of injuries to Kris Letang and Brian Dumoulin during the first period. The Penguins played the final two periods and overtime with four defensemen, and Schultz led the team in ice time. He also scored his first goal of the season. If Letang or Dumoulin are out more than just Saturday, Schultz could see a major increase in playing time as he did during this loss. In nine games, Schultz has a goal and seven points this season.

Schultz has an assist in each of his two games back from injury, including Sunday's matchup with the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz has already made an impact since rejoining the lineup with two helpers in two games. Despite playing in just six contests this year, the 28-year-old is on a point per game pace, which he will likely struggle to maintain -- though at this rate, the blueliner could still reach the 20-point mark on the year.

Schultz (lower leg) will rejoin the lineup Saturday against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz's activation from injured reserve Friday hinted at his return, and he will indeed dress for the first time since Oct. 13. The blueliner owns four assists through four games played this season and had a highly productive 39-point campaign in 2016-17, making him a logical candidate for addition in most season-long formats. He could also be a value play for daily purposes if his price is deflated out of the gate.

Schultz was removed from IR by the Penguins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

While technically still a game-time decision against the Flames on Saturday, the fact that Schultz was removed from injured reserve clears him to suit up. The 28-year-old registered four points, including a power-play assist, in his four games this season prior to getting hurt. If the blueliner does rejoin the lineup Saturday, he will have 25 games to try to hit the 20-point mark for a third consecutive season -- a long shot but certainly not out of the question.

Schultz (lower leg) will be a game-time decision versus the Flames on Saturday, Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz linked up with Jack Johnson on the Pens' second pairing at practice Friday, stepping into the spot vacated by the injured Olli Maatta (shoulder). In addition, the 28-year-old Schultz figures to be a near lock for the second power-play unit once given the all-clear. In order to return to action, the University of Wisconsin product will need to be activated off injured reserve.
