CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins have played 78 games now this season.
They've only had a full complement of their top four centers -- Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jeff Carter and Teddy Blueger -- for 21 of those games.
They should play game No. 22 with their full group of centers Saturday in Detroit.
Carter, after leaving Thursday's win over the Bruins in the third period with a lower-body injury, was a full participant in practice, and Mike Sullivan said afterward that Carter would be good to go for the game against the Red Wings.
