Pierre-Olivier Joseph Sustains Upper-Body Injury
1 day agoPittsburgh Penguins defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph (upper body) exited Saturday's contest early with an injury. Joseph logged just over three minutes of ice time before exiting. He tallied one hit and did not get on the scoresheet. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Sunday afternoon. However, given the quick turnaround, Joseph may be held out of the lineup on Sunday. Joseph replaced Ryan Graves, who was a healthy scratch, which suggests Graves would likely be called on to re-enter the lineup if he cannot play. Before Sunday, Joseph tallied one point over his last eight contests (a helper) and averaged one shot on goal and 1.3 blocked shots per game. Matt Grzelcyk would move up to the top pairing if Joseph were to sit out.
