Conor Sheary News

Sheary has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but he was on the ice for Thursday’s practice and could play tonight in Dallas. Sheary, who has 19 points (12G / 7A) in 52 games this season, skated on a line with Riley Sheahan and Zach Aston-Reese. Monitor his status during the Penguins’ morning skate.

Sheary has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since January 31st, but has been skating and took part in the morning skate, so there’s a good chance he returns to the lineup tonight. He skated with Sidney Crosby this morning, so if he plays, make sure you get him back in your lineup. He has registered 17 goals and 18 assists (35 points) in 42 games this season.

Sheary continues to inch closer to a return to the Penguins’ lineup, but it won’t happen tonight vs. the Blackhawks. He has been sidelined since the final day of January and will now eye a Friday return vs. Tampa Bay.

Sheary was hurt during Tuesday’s win over the Predators and will miss at least one month. This is a tough break for the young winger, who has built up a great chemistry with Sidney Crosby this season. Sheary is third on the Penguins in goals (17) and his injury should allow Chris Kunitz or Jake Guentzel to move to the top line.

Sheary missed the last seven games with an eye injury that he suffered back on October 18th. The young winger collected three points (1G / 2A) in the first four games of the season and will re-enter the lineup on the fourth line tonight.

Sheary was caught by a high-stick in Tuesday’s loss in Montreal and the injury will keep him out of Thursday’s game. Sheary will come out of the lineup for at least one game. He is listed as day-to-day.

Sheary suffered an upper-body injury after being hit hard vs. the Jets on Saturday. He had three goals and two assists in 27 games before the injury, but is not expected to be sidelined for long.

Sheary registered three points (2G / 1A) in 16 games with the Penguins this season and is tied for the team lead with 36 points (7G / 29A) in 30 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He is expected to play on Tuesday vs. the Senators.

Sheary was expected to be a healthy scratch on Saturday, but Chris Kunitz was a late scratch, so Sheary will be in the lineup vs. the Canucks. Sheary will likely skate on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Patric Hornqvist—he has two goals and one assist in 14 games this season.
