Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> goaltender Stuart Skinner<\/a> is dealing with an upper-body injury and will not dress on Sunday against the Florida Panthers<\/a>, the team announced.<\/p>\n

Skinner played the entirety of the team\u2019s 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> on Thursday, but did not play in their game on Saturday against the Panthers.<\/p>\n

Arturs Silovs<\/a> will start for the Penguins in net for the second day in a row – he saved 19 of 23 shots in the 9-4 victory over the Panthers on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Skinner has a 2.99 goals-against average and .886 save percentage in 24 games with the Penguins since he was acquired in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> in December.<\/p>\n

The Penguins also recalled goaltender Taylor Gauthier<\/a> from the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL.<\/p>\n

The Penguins (39-22-16) enter play on Sunday ranked second in the Metropolitan Division, five points ahead of the New York Islanders<\/a> with five games remaining on the schedule. After playing Florida on Sunday, Pittsburgh plays three of its final four games on the road. <\/p>\n

They travel to New Jersey to take on the Devils on Thursday, then play a home-and-home series against the Washington Capitals<\/a> before finishing the regular season on the road against the St. Louis Blues<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Stuart Skinner is dealing with an upper-body injury and will not dress on Sunday against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":422064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5113],"tags":[4759,5,4,118,1469,100,32614,5216,32612],"class_list":{"0":"post-544957","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-penguins","8":"tag-apple-news","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-penguins","12":"tag-pittsburgh","13":"tag-pittsburgh-penguins","14":"tag-pittsburgh-penguins-sports-hockey-team-team-nhl-api-5","15":"tag-pittsburghpenguins","16":"tag-stuart-skinner-sports-hockey-player-player-nhl-api-8479973"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116361725697306870","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
