Status report
The Penguins will dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 5-4 shootout loss at the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday. … Stone, who has missed five games, will be a game-time decision; he wore a noncontact jersey during the Golden Knights morning skate, took line rushes on the first line and worked on the power play. … If Stone doesn’t play, either Saad or Smith, each a forward, will. … Hanifin and Lauzon will swap defense partners.
