Pierre-Olivier Joseph News

Joseph suffered the injury early in the second period and was unable to return. We should receive an update on his status ahead of the Blues' game in Boston on Saturday.

Joseph played six straight games for the Blues but will be a healthy scratch on Thursday after recording a -4 plus/minus in his last outing, an 8-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Scott Perunovich will draw into the lineup as Joseph's replacement.

Nick Leddy is battling a lower-body injury and will not play on Thursday, allowing Joseph to re-enter the lineup. In his only game this season, Joseph recorded a -1 plus/minus in 12:39 time-on-ice.

Joseph will make his Blues debut in Vegas on Friday after sitting out the first two games of the season. The 25-year-old blue-liner spent the first four seasons of his career in Pittsburgh, totaling eight goals and 29 assists across 147 regular season games.

Joseph will join his brother in St. Louis who was acquired in an earlier deal on Tuesday after the defensemen signed a one-year $950,000 contract with the Blues. The 25-year-old defenseman had spent the first four seasons of his career in Pittsburgh and had two goals, 11 points and 14 PIMs in 52 games played in 2023-24.

Joseph will be the odd-man out on Thursday as the Penguins opt to go back to dressing just six defensemen. Joseph has no goals and three assists in 22 games this season.

The Penguins' blue-liner returns to the lineup after being scratched each of the last six games, with the last two being due to an illness. He has no goals and one assist in eight games this season.

Joseph has not played since November 4th, recovering from a lower-body injury, and has only played five total games this season. During a conditioning stint with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Joseph scored one point (0G / 1A) in two games. He will draw into the Penguins lineup Tuesday for Ryan Shea.

Joseph has not played since November 4th, recovering from a lower-body injury, and has only played five total games this season. As a result, he has been reassigned to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL for a conditioning stint and will presumably be recalled in the near future.

Joseph has not played since November 4th due to a lower-body injury but appears to be on the verge of a return to the lineup after being a full participant at the Penguins' practice on Wednesday. Before his injury, Joseph had one point (0G / 1A) in five games, averaging 13:05 time-on-ice, playing predominantly with Chad Ruhwedel on the Penguins' third defensive pairing.

Joseph has been a healthy scratch for the previous three games but will draw back into the Penguins lineup Tuesday vs. Montreal. The 23-year-old has four goals, 17 points, 84 SOG, 38 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 59 games played this season.

Joseph has not played in the last two games for Pittsburgh after leaving their game last week vs. Washinton due to a lower-body injury after playing just 6:41 TOI. He is a game-time decision Tuesday and will make a welcome addition to the lineup as he has four assists through 12 games with a +5 plus/minus rating and six PIMs while averaging 14:09 ATOI.
