Schultz has not played since December 17th against the Calgary Flames, where he was injured early on in the contest.
Meanwhile, after getting injured in the 4-3 win over the Bruins Sunday, Dominik Simon was back to practice. The same couldn't be said for Dominik Kahun, who also left the game early.
"Dominik Simon is practicing today after leaving yesterday's game with an injury. No sign of Dom Kahun. #Pens"
