TEAM NOTES:
NEXT MAN UP With Brian Dumoulin and John Marino missing practice on Wednesday, there may be an opportunity for taxi squad member Kevin Czuczman to see his first NHL game action since April 13, 2014 when he was a member of the New York Islanders. Originally signed by Pittsburgh on July 11, 2017, Czuczman has 13 games of NHL experience, recording two assists. The veteran blueliner has served as an alternate captain in each of his three seasons with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, and has notched 120 points (24G-96A) in 374 career AHL games.

MC-CANN YOU BELIEVE IT? While the Penguins have been accumulating points these past three games, so has Jared McCann.

Additionally, McCann has points (2G-3A) in five of the Penguins’ seven games this season and all three road games (3A).

PENS &PENS FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS Penguins players will wear “Hockey Talks” decals on their helmets during tonight’s game against as part of an important NHL initiative to raise awareness and help end the stigma around mental health.
The Hockey Talks initiative began in 2013, following the tragic passing of Canucks player Rick Rypien at age 27 in 2011. Rick was passionate about reducing the stigma associated with mental health by becoming a spokesperson on the issue before losing his own battle. The Penguins are one of 18 NHL teams that participate in the initiative.
In Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation has partnered with EMBRACE Pittsburgh to hold the team’s second annual “Break the Ice Day,” also on January 28. The joint goal of Break the Ice Day and the NHL’s Hockey Talks campaign is to create an environment where people feel comfortable talking about their mental health.
