Despres (illness) will play Tuesday against the Jets.

Analysis:

Despres' status for Tuesday's game was in question after he indicated following Monday's practice that he wasn't feeling fully healthy, but he'll attempt to gut it out as the Pens enter their second-half schedule. The 23-year-old, who has a goal and 12 points in 43 games this season, will join Robert Scuderi on the third pairing.
