Thomas Novak Day-To-Day With Injury
1 min agoPittsburgh Penguins center Thomas Novak (lower body) will not suit up on Tuesday to face the Vegas Golden Knights. Novak is day-to-day with an injury he sustained during their victory over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday evening. Novak was traded to the Penguins shortly before the trade deadline in a deal that sent Michael Bunting to Nashville. During his brief stint in Pittsburgh so far, Novak has seen time on the second offensive line alongside Evgeni Malkin and Philip Tomasino. With Novak set to miss Tuesday's contest, fantasy managers should expect Danton Heinen to re-enter the starting lineup. Heinen to Connor Dewar could see time in Novak's spot on the second offensive line. Heinen will likely also see an increased role in the power-play and could be worth streaming in deeper formats with an uptick in ice time. Novak will look to return on Thursday evening against the St. Louis Blues.
