| News: Vitale (undisclosed) is expected to practice with the team Tuesday, Pens Inside Scoop reports. | Impact: Vitale only recorded one assist and four PIMs in four playoff games before being injured, so even when he's able to return his fantasy impact will likely be minimal.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Vitale (undisclosed) will not take the ice for Sunday's Game 3 in Ottawa, Arpob Basu of LNH.com reports. | Impact: Vitale has appeared in just four of eight playoff tilts for the Penguins this postseason, tallying one assist with an even plus/minus on his line. When he does play, he's unlikely to log more than 10 minutes of ice time. Pittsburgh will miss his faceoff ability. Vitale has won 23 of 41 draws. No word on whether his absence is injury related or due to a personal issue. Tanner Glass will take his spot in the lineup.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Vitale expects to be in the lineup for Thursday's Game 5 against the Islanders, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. | Impact: Tyler Kennedy is expected to suit up Thursday as well, and if that's the case, the Penguins' healthy scratches up front would likely be Jussi Jokinen Beau Bennett, Tanner Glass and Dustin Jeffrey. Vitale brings speed and energy to the table, with coach Dan Bylsma noting that the forward tends to play well upon being reinserted into the team's lineup.(RotoWire, ) |
