Penguins about to get some injury reinforcements up front, but defensive question marks persist

There was very good news Friday from Texas, where the Penguins took to the ice for the first time in a a while for a practice ahead of Saturday’s game against the Dallas Stars. Nothing is official or will be confirmed likely up until the roster submission, but it sure looks like injured forwards Nick Bjugstad and Bryan Rust will be back in the lineup tomorrow night.

Here’s how the team lined up for practice:

Bjugstad and Rust have only played a total of two games this season, both of them Bjugstad’s contributions.
