Penguins' Derick Brassard to return; Sidney Crosby still out

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Derick Brassard will return to the ice Saturday for the first time in nearly a month.

Brassard will be in the lineup to face his former team, the Ottawa Senators, after missing the past nine games with a lower-body injury.

He has five points in eight games this season -- his first full year in Pittsburgh. The Penguins acquired Brassard from the Senators last season as part of a three-team deal that also involved the Vegas Golden Knights. Saturday's game will be Brassard's first in Ottawa since the trade.
