Philadelphia, PA (Best E Casino) - Pittsburgh Penguins forward Gary Roberts will miss Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers due to an illness.

The 41-year-old has been in and out of the lineup this postseason. He missed the final two games of the Pens' four-game sweep over Ottawa in the first round with a sore groin, then sat out three times in Pittsburgh's five-game triumph over the Rangers in the conference semifinals.

For the playoffs, Roberts has two goals and three points in six games, including an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 2.
