This is good news for the Penguins who could get Neal back for Game 4.

James Neal just limped noticeably out of Consol. Wouldn't imagine he is playing tomorrow.
This would be another big blow to the Penguins lineup. However it looks like Crosby will be back in tomorrow so I guess they can't have too much talent on the ice! That just wouldn't be fair.

Winger James Neal, who suffered an apparent ankle injury during Game 1, is not participating in the Penguins' practice.
Neal left yesterday's game and did not return. The Pens had the game locked-up so they might have kept him out as a precaution.

Neal was a regular at practice this morning.
Neal skated on a line with Malkin and Kunitz and practiced on the team's #1 power-play unit. It sure looks like he will be back in the lineup tomorrow vs. the Hurricanes. He has missed the last nine games with a concussion.

First Crosby, now Neal. He took a hard elbow from Michael Del Zotto on Friday and did not return. Brenden Morrow will move into the top-6 to replace Neal.

Neal playing with Crosby at #Pens morning skate: Kunitz-Crosby-Neal
With Malkin out it looks as if the Penguins are going to move Neal up to the first line to play with Crosby. This is good news for Neal's owners as his production was likely to dip a little with the absence of Malkin. This hurts Pascal Dupuis however, who will now play with Beau Bennett and Brandon Sutter.

BUFFALO — The Penguins have signed right wing James Neal to a six-year, $30 million contract extension, the team announced this morning. Neal was set to be a restricted free agent following this season.
Great deal for the Pens as they lock up arguably their most prolific scorer. Neal scored 30 goals and 56 points through 58 games in his first full season in Pittsburgh.

Left wing James Neal is also having a good time, with five goals and five assists during the winning streak while playing on Malkin's line.
Neal is flourishing on Malkin's line with 10 points in the last 6 and is putting together the best season of his young career.
