Penguins' Owen Pickering: Slides helper in Monday's win
Pickering provided an assist and two PIM in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
The helper was Pickering's first point in 10 outings since he returned from a concussion. The 20-year-old blueliner has mostly seen third-pairing minutes since his return, offering limited chances for him to make a large impact in any aspect. He has three points, 13 shots on net, 13 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over his first 24 NHL contests.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Activated from IR
Pickering was activated from injured reserve Friday.
While he's officially a game-time decision for Friday's game versus the Panthers, this move clears the way for Pickering to return from a four-game absence. If he suits up, he'll likely be eased back in with bottom-four minutes. He has two points, 12 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 14 NHL appearances this season.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Considered game-time decision
Pickering (concussion) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Panthers, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Pickering fully participated in Tuesday's morning skate before being ruled out, and the Penguins' medical staff will want to see how he feels in the hours leading up to Friday's puck drop before determining his status against the Panthers. The 20-year-old made 14 appearances before sustaining his injury, racking up a goal, an assist, 12 blocked shots and six hits while averaging 15:47 of ice time.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Remains out Tuesday
Pickering (concussion) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Red Wings despite fully participating in the Penguins' morning skate, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Pickering has been sidelined due to a concussion for the past week and a half, but his full participation in Tuesday's practice suggests that he's trending in the right direction. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him cleared for game action in early January.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Lands on IR
Pickering (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Pickering had one block in 10:53 of ice time before he left the game. He has a goal and two points in 14 appearances in 2024-25. If Pickering can't play Monday versus Philadelphia, Ryan Graves will probably draw back into the lineup.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Nets first NHL goal
Pickering scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-4 overtime win over Florida.
It was his first NHL goal in his sixth game. Pickering fired a wrist shot from the point past a screen from Michael Bunting. At 20 years and 311 days, he becomes the 11th youngest defenseman in Penguins history to score a goal. Pickering was picked 21st overall in the 2022 NHL Draft and is looking like a natural on the Pens blue line.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Game-time decision
Pickering (illness) will be a game-time decision versus Calgary on Saturday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Pickering has sat out the last two games. He has one assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and one hit in four appearances this season. If Pickering returns to the lineup against the Flames, Ryan Shea or Jack St. Ivany could be a healthy scratch.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Questionable Friday
Pickering (illness) missed practice Thursday and is considered questionable ahead of Friday's tilt versus Boston, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Pickering was unable to play Wednesday against the Canucks with his illness. Coach Mike Sullivan stated that Pickering is still being evaluated and may not travel with the Penguins to Boston on Friday. Pickering has one assist in four games this season. If he is unable to go, look for Jack St. Ivany to remain in the lineup.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Earns helper in debut
Pickering logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
While it was a fairly tame first assignment, Pickering was able to handle third-pairing duties in the absence of Kris Letang (illness). It didn't take long for Pickering to earn his first point, as he helped out on a Jesse Puljujarvi tally in the first period. Pickering won't solve all of the Penguins' defensive problems, but he has a chance to make a push to stick around after failing to make the team out of camp. The 20-year-old blueliner is unlikely to be a future fantasy stud, but he's a heady player who should be a benefit in his own zone now and in future seasons for Pittsburgh.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Called up from minors
Pickering was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
Pickering's promotion could be an indication there is an injury or illness to one of the Pens' blueliners, though it might also be an attempt to see if anything can stem the flow of opposition goals considering Pittsburgh is giving up 3.83 per game (second-worst in the league). If the 6-foot-4 Pickering does get into Friday's matchup with Columbus, it figures to be in a third-pairing role -- likely at the expense of Ryan Shea.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Joining Baby Pens
Pickering was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday, Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now reports.
Pickering put up nine goals and 36 points in 61 games for the Swift Current Broncos this season and will now get his first taste of professional hockey. Selected by the Pens in the first round of the 2022 NHL Draft, the 19-year-old blueliner could at least challenge for a spot on the 23-man roster next season, especially if Brian Dumoulin is allowed to walk in free agency.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Suffers upper-body injury
Pickering sustained an upper-body injury that will limit him during the Penguins' rookie camp, Pens Inside Scoop reports Thursday.
Pickering was selected by the Penguins with the 21st overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft and should be considered a dark-horse candidate to secure a spot on the 23-man roster for Opening Night. If his upper-body injury lingers into the start of training camp, it will certainly hurt his chances.
