Cullen (illness) missed Thursday's practice, Bill West of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the second practice Cullen has missed this week while dealing with an undisclosed illness. The 40-year-old pivot did play, however, in Wednesday's loss to Chicago -- recording an assist and two shots on goal in 14:26 of ice time. Clearly, this is not something that is hindering Cullen's ability to contribute. However, it remains to be seen if he will suit up Friday against the Rangers.

Cullen (illness) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Cullen missed Tuesday's practice due to an illness, but the veteran pivot was able to participate in Wednesday's morning skate, and he was never in serious danger of missing Pittsburgh's meeting with Chicago. The American forward will slot into a bottom-six role against the Blackhawks, centering Tom Kuhnhackl and Oskar Sundqvist on the Penguins' fourth line, but he should also see time on the man advantage as a member of Pittsburgh's second power-play unit Wednesday evening.

Cullen missed Tuesday's practice due to illness.

EDGE Analysis

It is unclear what impact this may have on Cullen's status for Wednesday's matchup with the Blackhawks, but with the number of banged up players in the Burgh, losing a veteran like Cullen -- even for one game -- would be a big setback. The 40-year-old has been lighting it up recently with two goals and three assists in his previous six contests, including a marker on the power play, where he is only averaging 0:23 of ice time per contest. If the winger is unable to suit up Wednesday, the Pens may need to call up a player from the minors to fill out the game-day roster.

Cullen scored a first-period goal in Sunday's loss against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

The 40-year-old now has two goals and three assists over seven games since returning from an undisclosed injury. Cullen is becoming more injury prone as he ages, but he has 28 points this season over 66 games, compared to 32 points over 82 games last season, proving his production hasn't gone anywhere. When healthy, Cullen is still a solid winger in leagues of medium depth.

Cullen (undisclosed) will return to Pittsburgh's lineup for Wednesday's game against the Flyers, Jonathan Bombulie of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cullen will return to a bottom-six role Wednesday, centering Tom Kuhnhackl and Oskar Sundqvist on the Penguins' fourth line. The 40-year-old pivot has posted solid numbers while skating in a somewhat limited role for Pittsburgh this season, notching 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) in 59 games, but he hasn't done enough to warrant ownership in most fantasy formats.

Cullen (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision in Wednesday's rivalry clash with the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Cullen has already missed the Pens' previous three contests and if unable to go, would likely be replaced on the fourth line by Josh Archibald. A rash of injuries for Pittsburgh has forced several young players into the lineup of late, so getting back a veteran of Cullen's caliber would be a huge boon in this contentious matchup.

Cullen (undisclosed) will miss his third straight game Monday against the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

It is still yet to be released what is ailing Cullen, but this isn't a huge loss to fantasy owners outside of deeper leagues. The 40-year-old veteran averages 13:37 of ice time over 59 games this season, picking up 10 goals and 13 assists. Cullen's next chance to return will be in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Coach Mike Sullivan labeled Cullen (undisclosed) as a game-time decision for Monday's tilt with the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Cullen has missed the past two games with an undisclosed injury, but there seems to be a decent chance that he'll suit up Monday, as he skated on the third line during morning skate. The veteran forward has supplied 10 goals and 13 assists over 59 games this season, so his health is only worth monitoring in deeper leagues.

Cullen will not suit up for Friday's matchup with the Oilers due to an undisclosed injury.

EDGE Analysis

Cullen will miss his seventh game overall this season after sitting for six at the end of January with a foot injury. In 16 contests since returning from that injury, Cullen has two goals and four assists, so he's not likely to be missed by most fantasy owners. Recent call-up Oskar Sundqvist will make his season debut for the Penguins in Cullen's place Friday.
