Matt Niskanen won't play Tuesday, but his lower-body injury isn't expected to keep him on the shelf for very long.
It is expected that he will be listed as day-to-day following Tuesday's contest. Niskanen had been playing with Kris Letang this campaign and he was off to a good start with three points and nine shots in five games. Simon Despres or Robert Bortuzzo will take his place in the lineup.
