Justin Schultz Takes Full Contact On Wednesday
6 years agoPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Justin Schultz (leg) will travel with the team to Florida for Thursday's game against the Panthers, although it's uncertain if he'll be able to play. He was able to take full contract for the third consecutive practice on Wednesday. He has missed the past 49 games due to a fractured left leg. If he is able to return, he'll likely be paired with Olli Maatta on the third pairing of rearguards, pushing Juuso Riikola and Chad Ruhwedel to the bench. Or perhaps Maatta is the odd-man out. Either way, Schultz is worth scooping up now, as he can be a fantasy asset when healthy.
