Breaking: Pens may be without top defenseman tonight
KeyStone Press

The Pittsburgh Penguins hit the ice for morning skate today in anticipation over their bout against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Head coach Mike Sullivan spoke this morning in regards to the status of his lineup.

Matt Hunwick, who had missed the last 15 games due to a concussion, finally returns to the lineup. He provides a stable force on the backend that can effectively move the puck up the ice.

On the other hand, Olli Maatta, who has had something of a resurgence this season, may miss tonight's game due to illness. He will be a game-time decision.

Maatta has 11 points in 21 games this season.
