Penguins' Matt Cullen: Will play Wednesday

Cullen (illness) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blackhawks.

Analysis:

Cullen missed Tuesday's practice due to an illness, but the veteran pivot was able to participate in Wednesday's morning skate and was never in serious danger of missing the meeting with Chicago. The American forward will slot into a bottom-six role against the Blackhawks, centering Tom Kuhnhackl and Oskar Sundqvist on the Penguins' fourth line, but he should also see time as a member of the second power-play unit.
