In a last second adjustment to the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup, Drew O’Connor will serve in place of Ryan Poehling.
It is unclear what is keeping Poehling from the lineup, but O’Connor will play on the Penguins fourth line with Teddy Blueger and Josh Archibald.
Poehling took part in warmups and just moments before puck drop, it was announced that O’Connor would be in.
Poehling recently missed a chunk of time with an upper-body injury and has at times played as the fourth line center.
With Blueger usually filling that position, Poehling has been a regular as the left winger on that line.
This will be O’Connor’s 19th game of the season and he has gained some steam in his recent set of games.
Through his first 18 games, O’Connor has picked up three goals and two assists for five points.
