Panthers' Keith Yandle: Game-time call

Yandle (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision against the Penguins on Thursday, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

A lower-body ailment had threatened Yandle's iron-man streak of 578 consecutive games Tuesday, but he was able to play in that evening's contest against the Flyers, hoisting four shots on goal and getting in front of two more in 23:57 of ice time. This is a situation worth monitoring as we approach a 10-game slate, as Yandle's streak is in jeopardy again.
