It's Not Certain Fedotenko Will Play Tomorrow

Ruslan Fedotenko was injured during the game against NJ last Wednesday and did not return to play in the third period. I couldn't see from where we were sitting what happened, but on the ride home, Phil Bourque said it looked like he took a hit and he was favoring his shoulder.

The Penguins webpage is reporting that he did not attend the optional practice on Thursday, but did participate in yesterday's practice. It's looking like it will be a gametime decision as to whether or not he will be in the lineup against the Carolina Hurricanes tomorrow night.

“(Thursday) was an evaluation (for Fedotenko) and things came back in a
positive way,” interim head coach Dan Bylsma said. “Just like everyone else, he
was banged up and bruised but he is healthy and ready to go and that’s a good
thing.”

“We’re still going to make that decision (Saturday),” Bylsma said. “But we saw much more positive news today than yesterday.”
