Schultz posted an assist with a plus-1 rating, four blocked shots, a minor penalty and two hits in Friday's 3-2 win against the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Schultz saw his three-game goal-scoring streak end but he is working on a four-game run with at least one point. The rearguard has been on fire on the power play and he continues to help fantasy owners with his outstanding plus-29 rating and 89 blocked shots through 63 outings.

Schultz posted a goal and two assists, including one on the power play, in a 4-3 comeback victory over the Sabres on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After some bad luck in the first period, Pittsburgh finally broke through with a good bounce in the second. Schultz fired the puck on Sabres netminder Anders Nilsson, which he stopped, but the rebound skipped off Schultz's skate and into the net. Schultz also picked up primary assists on Evgeni Malkin's blast on the power play and on a beautiful back-door pass to Conor Sheary for the game-winner. Schultz has emerged as a must-own defensemen in Pittsburgh with 11 goals and 44 points with a plus-28 rating this season. One more goal and Schultz will have career highs in all three categories.

Schultz (concussion) participated in pregame warmups before Saturday's game against the Flyers, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Mike Sullivan said that Schultz was feeling "really good," so it certainly seems like he's going to play, barring a setback in warmups. Schultz has enjoyed a breakout season, as he has 39 points in 56 games. The Penguins will be happy to have him back after a three-game absence.

Schultz (concussion) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup with the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Mike Sullivan told reporters Schultz "feels really good" after Saturday's morning skate, indicating the 26-year-old blueliner is likely closer to probable than questionable for the Penguins' tilt against Philadelphia. Schultz's availability for Saturday evening's contest likely won't be confirmed until after pregame warmups, but his owners should plan on slotting him back into their lineups immediately if he's given the green light, as he's been a fantasy stud this season, racking up 39 points (nine goals, 30 assists) in 56 games.

Schultz (concussion) ran the team's top power-play unit Friday during practice, an indication that he'll return to action Saturday, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

He's been cleared for contact and said he felt fine after Friday's practice. Schultz, who leads Pittsburgh defenders with 39 points in 56 games, has missed the team's last three contests.

Schultz (concussion) is closing in on a Saturday return, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports. "I skated pretty hard the past couple of days by myself, trying to stay in game shape," Schultz noted. "I still have a couple of more steps. I'm hopeful I can be ready for Saturday. Hopefully I'll get cleared and practice Friday, and be ready for the game. We'll see what happens."

EDGE Analysis

With two of Pittsburgh's top-four defenders sidelined, Schultz's return can't come soon enough. While it's difficult to predict an exact comeback date for players suffering from concussion, there's a decent chance he'll play Saturday if he joins the team for Friday's practice. Stay tuned.

Schultz (concussion) was not at all restricted in practice Thursday, Pittsburgh freelancer Shelly Anderson reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is obviously great news for Schultz, who has already established career highs in assists (30), points (39), and hits (43) through 56 games. He'll aim to return in Saturday's home game against the Flyers.

Schultz (concussion) is not in the lineup for Tuesday night's road game against the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Still no word on when Schultz may be ready to return, but he's now guaranteed to miss a third consecutive game. He'll need to log at least one full contact practice and pass the NHL's concussion protocol before he can be cleared. Chad Ruhwedel and Steven Oleksy are in line to see extended playing time during Schultz's continued absence.

Schultz (concussion) will likely miss his second straight game Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The defender suffered a concussion after a hit by Dustin Byfuglien along the boards Thursday. There hasn't been any sort of timetable for return, but some have speculated that Schultz won't be out for an extended period.

Schultz has been diagnosed with a concussion and is undergoing concussion protocol.

EDGE Analysis

This news effectively rules Schultz out of Friday's game against Columbus, and makes him questionable at best for Sunday's matchup with the Red Wings. The 26-year-old blueliner will be dearly missed by the Penguins and fantasy owners alike during his absence, as he's been extremely productive this season, racking up 39 points (nine goals, 30 assists) while averaging 2:30 of ice time on the man advantage per contest. A more definite timetable for Schultz' return to Pittsburgh's lineup should be announced once he passes the NHL's concussion protocol.
