Philip Tomasino Fantasy Stats

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Philip Tomasino (upper body) will depart the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks. The team announced that Tomasino is being evaluated for an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old logged 7:09 of ice time in Saturday's win over the Dallas Stars, finishing a sixth consecutive game without any points. Since the Penguins acquired Tomasino from the Nashville Predators, he has recorded 10 goals and 20 points in 48 games. Joona Koppanen, who was brought up from the minors on Sunday, is set to replace Tomasino in the lineup. In 15 career games, Koppanen has had two points (one goal, one assist) and should not be viewed as a fantasy target.

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Philip Tomasino (lower body) was placed on the injured reserve prior to Sunday's contest against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 23-year-old sustained this injury during their overtime loss to the Florida Panthers on Friday evening. After scoring three goals over his first four contests as a Penguin, Tomasino has gotten a bit cold, tallying just three points in his previous 11 contests. However, he has continued to be deployed on the second line alongside Evgeni Malkin. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor who takes Tomasino's spot on the second line while he is injured. Cody Glass was given the nod on Sunday evening but Drew O'Connor and Anthony Beauvillier will likely be given an opportunity as well.

Nashville Predators right wing Philip Tomasino (upper body) is set to return to the lineup Thursday against Arizona. The 21-year-old was forced to miss Monday's game against Vancouver with an upper-body injury but has recovered quickly and will play his 11th game of the season. Tomasino has done pretty well in limited action, posting two goals and four assists with 19 shots on goal and 11 hits. Nashville has a number of forwards missing with injuries, so Tomasino could get an opportunity in the top six.

Nashville Predators right wing Philip Tomasino had to exit Saturday's game against Chicago with an upper-body injury after taking a hit from Andreas Englund. Before leaving, the 21-year-old managed to score his second goal of the campaign in a power-play situation. An update on Tomasino's status is expected prior to Monday's contest versus Vancouver. Tomasino, who's a former first-round draft pick, started out the season in the AHL and was playing only his 10th NHL contest of the year Saturday. He's done well in limited action, amassing six points with 19 shots on goal and 11 hits.
