Pittsburgh Penguins forwards Kasperi Kapanen and Josh Archibald are available to return to the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the visiting Colorado Avalanche, coach Mike Sullivan said.
Kapanen has been sidelined since Jan. 18 with a lower-body injury, while Archibald has been out since Dec. 18 — also with a lower-body injury.
“I’m a little rusty, obviously, after being away from the ice for some time and not really getting any team practices before that with the injury,” Kapanen said.
Kapanen, 26, has totaled 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 35 games this season.
Archibald, 30, has six points (four goals, two assists) in 30 games while playing on the team’s fourth line.
