Latest Fantasy Rumors
Slated to be healthy scratch
CPittsburgh Penguins
November 26, 2025
Kindel might be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's game against Buffalo, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
Kindel has five goals and eight points in 19 appearances this season. The 18-year-old rookie was taken with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. The occasional game off is understandable for a young forward, and he'll probably get back into the lineup soon. In the meantime, Ville Koivunen is set to draw back into the lineup Wednesday after missing Pittsburgh's last three games due to a lower-body injury.
