PITTSBURGH – As the puck was dropped between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Carolina Hurricanes, there was a late scratched announced. The Penguins announced that forward Noel Acciari was a late scratch.

The Penguins were already down Reilly Smith and recalled Colin White from the American Hockey League, but he was not part of the initial lineup announcement. White is officially skating as the Penguins’ fourth line center with this Acciari update.
