Latest news
Kuzmenko notched an assist in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Mammoth.
Kuzmenko's helper was his first point in six outings this season. The winger has added six shots on net, five hits and a minus-3 rating while filling a middle-six role. While he's on the second power-play unit, he would need a better spot at even strength to generate much fantasy interest.

Kuzmenko (personal) will be in the lineup against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Kuzmenko will slot back into a third-line role after missing the past three games for personal reasons. In addition to his spot on Ben Kindel's wing, the 30-year-old Kuzmenko should see time with the No. 2 power-play unit as he looks for his first point of the 2026-27 campaign.

Kuzmenko (personal) was granted non-roster status Wednesday and won't participate in Pittsburgh's road trip, per Josh Yohe of The Athletic.
Kuzmenko will miss at least Wednesday's game in Washington and Friday's matchup in Columbus. However, it's unclear when he will return to the lineup. Kuzmenko's exit from the lineup might coincide with Bryan Rust's (upper body) return. Rust is currently a game-time decision for Wednesday after sitting out Pittsburgh's opening three contests.

Kuzmenko (personal) has been removed from the non-roster list ahead of Saturday's matchup with Montreal, per the NHL media site.
Kuzmenko skated in a fourth-line role in his return to practice Friday, which likely speaks more to how well the third line performed in the first game of the year. The 30-year-old winger could get a look with the Penguins' No. 2 power-play unit at some point, but head coach Dan Muse may be hesitant to rock the boat too much out of the gates.

Kuzmenko (personal) has rejoined the Penguins and was on the ice for practice Friday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Kuzmenko spent the past week away from the team while in Russia following the death of his father, and he was deemed a non-roster player by the Penguins to begin the regular season. The 30-year-old appears to be close to making his regular-season debut now that he's back with the team, but it's not yet clear whether he'll get the green light for Saturday's game against the Canadiens.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 2
Kuzmenko (personal) was deemed a non-roster player by the Penguins on Monday.
Kuzmenko played in 52 regular-season games for the Kings last year in which he notched 13 goals and 12 assists, including 13 power-play points. Once the 30-year-old winger rejoins the team, he should be in the mix for a middle-six role with the Penguins.
