Zach Aston-Reese Could Return Friday Vs. Coyotes
3 years agoPittsburgh Penguins forward Zach Aston-Reese (illness) could return to the lineup on Friday when his team faces the host Arizona Coyotes. The 27-year-old out of Staten Island has missed the last two games with a non-COVID-related illness, including a 3-2 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues on Thursday. The Penguins did not hold a morning skate on Friday, so it isn't clear yet if Aston-Reese is healthy enough to play. That being said, with Pittsburgh winning three of its last four games and with the upcoming schedule including easy competition such as the Coyotes and the Buffalo Sabres, there's no reason to rush Aston-Reese back into the lineup if he still isn't feeling well.
