Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Winger Ruslan Fedotenko, who missed the Penguins' 6-3 victory Saturday in St. Louis because of an unspecified injury that caused him to leave the morning skate early, practiced yesterday but is not expected to be in uniform tonight.
He declined to discuss not only the nature of his injury —- standard practice for the Penguins since the league gave clubs permission to keep such information secret —- but also any possible date for his return, per instructions from management.
Playing tonight has «not been ruled out," Fedotenko said. «It's a day-to-day decision.
«I'm not supposed to talk about that at all. I don't want to be rude, but no information is supposed to go out.»

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: When he arrived at the Nassau Coliseum on Saturday morning, Penguins winger Ruslan Fedotenko found a present in his locker from his former Islanders teammates.
A Mr. Potato Head doll.
Fedotenko, apparently, was known as “Mr. Potato Head” on Long Island, as the doll, complete with a Darth Vader helmet and “Fedotenko” stenciled on the back in magic marker, suggested.
“That’s a new one,” Fedotenko said. “I had a different one (last year). It had the Islanders’ logo and everything else.”
Why Mr. Potato Head?
“If you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you,” Fedotenko said.
Penguins winger Pascal Dupuis had a theory. “It looks like 'Fed,’ ” Dupuis said.

The Sports Network: Alex Goligoski and Ruslan Fedotenko each had a goal and an assist for the Penguins, who have won six in a row. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 21-of-23 shots in the come-from-behind win.

Matt Cooke, from the back of the net, then fired a pass between defenders to Staal in front for the eventual game-winner with 4:33 to play.
A minute later, Malkin came down on a 3-on-2 break and fed a trailing Fedotenko for a one-timer and a two-goal lead, and Staal's empty netter with 24 ticks remaining sealed the win.

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: LW Ruslan Fedotenko was a healthy scratch for the first time this season to make room in the lineup for Pesonen. Fedotenko, who has not scored in four games and has four goals in 21 games, joined D Mark Eaton and G Marc-Andre Fleury on the scratched list.
