Crosby, Dumoulin, Pettersson and Ruhwedel (and of course Jarry) are all skating in Pittsburgh today, and the plan is for them to meet the team in DC tomorrow.
The Penguins are also hoping for Mike Sullivan to make his return behind the bench in Washington.
They will then regroup with the rest of the team in Washington D.C.
Coach Mike Sullivan is also expected to be at the game tomorrow against the Washington Capitals.
Crosby, Dumoulin and Sullivan were all placed into COVID-19 protocol earlier this month.
The positive test for Crosby came right after he had to wait for his season debut on October 31, following his recovery from a wrist surgery.
