Bylsma said that Brent Johnson will get the start Tuesday vs. Ottawa. He's 8-2-1 in his career vs. the Senators.
Anderson for the Sens.
Injury Report:
The Penguins dodged a bullet on the injury front with forward James Neal. It was originally believed that Neal would be sidelined for ?weeks, not days? with a broken foot suffered blocking a shot late in the third period on Jan. 7 against New Jersey.
But after further evaluation, it was determined the injury was actually a bone bruise and Neal, who partook in Tuesday?s morning skate, will be able to play as pain permits.
They received more good news on the injury front when Craig Adams partook in Tuesday's morning skate after aggravating a previous injury on Sunday and sitting out Monday. He said "I felt good this morning, then felt good on the ice. So I don?t see any reason why I can?t play tonight."
Defenseman Paul Martin did not skate Tuesday morning after missing Monday's practice due to illness. He is a game-time decision for tonight.
In addition, Bylsma announced Sunday that center Jordan Staal is out 4-6 weeks with a knee injury after he collided knee-on-knee with Rangers forward Mike Rupp Friday night. The silver lining is that Staal will not need surgery.
The Penguins recalled forward Eric Tangradi from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday. The power forward currently leads WBS with 14 goals and ranks second with 25 points in 30 games. Also, Arron Asham will return Tuesday after missing two games with a lower-body injury he received Dec. 31 vs. New Jersey.
PENGUINS:
F Arron Asham, upper body
F Sidney Crosby, undisclosed
F Dustin Jeffrey, knee
D Kris Letang, broken nose and concussion
F Jordan Staal, knee
F James Neal, bone bruise
