(Updated) Penguins Skate: Kapanen Injured; Petry, Poehling Close

The Pittsburgh Penguins showed one change at their morning skate Friday at PPG Paints Arena, with Danton Heinen taking Kasperi Kapanen’s place on the fourth line. Kapanen was not on the ice, and coach Mike Sullivan said afterward that Kapenen is out week-to-week because of a lower-body injury.

The Penguins canceled their scheduled practice Thursday and so held a full morning skate Friday in advance of a home game against the Ottawa Senators, a rematch of Wednesday’s road loss.

Goaltender Tristan Jarry could return from injury Friday. So could defenseman Jeff Petry, who manned the point on the top power play at the skate. He missed the past 16 games. He and forward Ryan Poehling are game-time decisions, according to Sullivan.

“It was obviously a full, premium skate,” Petry said, adding that “it’s going to be an adjustment” to return to game action.

The lines and pairings:

Jake Guentzel-Sidney Crosby-Bryan Rust

Jason Zucker-Evgeni Malkin-Rickard Rakell

Drew O’Connor-Teddy Blueger-Jeff Carter

Brock McGinn-Jonathan Gruden-Danton Heinen

Brian Dumoulin-Ty Smith

Marcus Pettersson-Mark Friedman

P.O Joseph-Chad Ruhwedel

Injured defenseman Jan Rutta did not skate.

The pre-skate participants with assistant coach Ty Hennes for 30 minutes were defenseman Kris Letang and forward Josh Archibald. However, both also participated in the full skate, wearing white non-contact jersey. Here’s Letang in his early workout:
