Pascal Dupuis (lower body) is good to play Thursday for Penguins

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Pascal Dupuis (lower body) is set to return on Thursday.

What It Means:

Dupuis is yet to make his season debut as he has been dealing with a lower-body injury. He was ready to start the year after dealing with blood clots last year, but the injury pushed him back. Dupuis was originally scheduled to return in November.

Our projections are based on Dupuis playing 76 games, but they do view him favorably. Dupuis is slated for 27 goals and 26 assists on the season. Although he hasn't played more than 48 games since the 2011-12 season, Dupuis has been effective with a minimum Corsi For Percentage of 52.8.
