Skate report: Penguins shake up bottom six with Gruden set for NHL debut

It appears the Penguins will rock some new-look forward lines when they host the Ducks Monday night, 7:08 p.m., here at PPG Paints Arena.

While the top six, with Bryan Rust on the first line and Rickard Rakell on the second line, remained unchanged during the Penguins' morning skate Monday, the bottom six looked considerably different.

Take a look at their workflow during line rushes:

Jake Guentzel - Sidney Crosby - Bryan Rust
Jason Zucker - Evgeni Malkin - Rickard Rakell
Drew O'Connor - Teddy Blueger - Jeff Carter
Brock McGinn - Jonathan Gruden - Kasperi Kapanen

Gruden, who was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the AHL on Sunday, is primed to make his NHL debut while centering the Penguins' fourth line between McGinn and Kapanen.
