Penguins Practice: Acciari Returns; Graves-Karlsson Pair Reunited

CRANBERRY — Fourth-line center Noel Acciari, a late scratch for the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 3-2 overtime loss at Carolina Saturday night, was on the ice for their 15-minute workout at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex.

His status for the Penguins’ game against Seattle Monday at 1:08 p.m. at PPG Paints Arena was not immediately known.

Coach Mike Sullivan also reconfigured a couple of defense pairings for the workout, bumping Ryan Graves back up to the No. 2 unit with Erik Karlsson and dropped P.O Joseph back to the No. 3 pair, opposite Chad Ruhwedel.

Injured defenseman John Ludvig had an on-ice workout before the team practice, but did not participate in the regular season.

Here are the personnel combinations deployed during the brief workout:

Guentzel-Crosby-Rakell
O’Connor-Malkin-Rust
Zohorna-Eller-Puustinen
Harkins-Acciari-Carter

Pettersson-Letang
Graves-Karlsson
Joseph-Ruhwedel

No. 1 power play: Crosby, Malkin, Karlsson, Rust, Guentzel
No. 2 power play: Letang, Carter, Eller, Puustinen, Rakell
