One big change to the forwards with Gruden out, is seeing Jesse Puljujarvi practicing on the fourth line. With Jeff Carter listed by Mike Sullivan as day to day, Puljujarvi gets his first look at game action since March 9th against the Boston Bruins. Carter has made the road trip with the Penguins, and skated this morning.

Jesse Puljujarvi Gets A Chance To Prove Why He Was Worth Giving A Contract

Since being signed by the Penguins after a professional tryout contract, Puljujarvi has only 1 point, a goal scored on March 5th against the Columbus Blue Jackets. With Carter possibly out of tomorrows game, Puljujarvi will get a chance to showcase why the Penguins decided to sign him.

The Pens faceoff against the Dallas Stars tomorrow night at 8pm EST. It is a must win game for the Penguins to keep their playoff hopes alive.
