NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

LGP 🐧

Pittsburgh Penguins forwards Bryan Rust and Jake Guentzel are both in the lineup Sunday afternoon against the San Jose Sharks, the team announced.

Pittsburgh activated the pair off injured reserve earlier on Sunday.

Rust has sat out the past 11 games with a lower-body ailment, marking the second time this season that the 29-year-old has missed time due to injury. He has been effective when he's suited up for the Penguins so far this campaign, logging two goals and seven assists in 12 contests.


Guentzel, meanwhile, sat out Pittsburgh's last five games with an upper-body injury. Before being sidelined, the winger was riding a 13-game point streak and garnered seven points in his last two matchups. The 27-year-old leads the Penguins with 27 points in 24 games.

Both players will slot onto the top line.


Pittsburgh also announced that forward Teddy Blueger has been removed from COVID-19 protocol but will not play Sunday against the Sharks.
 
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday morning, head coach Sheldon Keefe announced, according to The Hockey News' David Alter.

Keefe said the positive result came from a rapid test and that the team has had rapid tests produce false positives before. The results of Matthews' PCR test will be available Tuesday. He is asymptomatic, Keefe said, according to Mark Zwolinski of the Toronto Star.

The Maple Leafs return to action Wednesday against the Edmonton Oilers. John Tavares centered the top line in Matthews' absence during Monday's practice, while Alexander Kerfoot shifted from wing to center:



Matthews, 24, leads Toronto with 20 goals and 33 points in 28 games this season.
