"When healthy, the Penguins are blessed with the finest collection of centers in hockey.

Center Dustin Jeffrey would like to remain in the lineup when centers Sidney Crosby and Jordan Staal return, and that might require more offensive punch than what he has produced so far. Jeffrey, who came back too early from ACL surgery in October, is finally healthy.

Jeffrey has scored two goals and two assists in 18 games, and three of those points came in a Jan. 20 game against the Canadiens.

"The legs aren't the issue now," said Jeffrey, who said his knee is 100 percent. "Being able to make plays and protect the puck, those are the things I need to improve. I have to be better with the puck.""
