Pierre-Olivier Joseph is still not ready to return for the Penguins and will sit out Tuesday.
Pierre-Olivier Joseph will be a game-time decision Tuesday (lower-body)
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.
The Penguins have signed Pierre-Olivier Joseph to a two-year, $1.65 million contract extension.
The Penguins have acquired Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Alex Galchenyuk from the Coyotes for Phil Kessel, Dane Birks and a 2020 fourth-round pick.
Joseph was selected No.23 overall in 2017 and is coming off of a 47-point (9G / 38A) campaign in the QMJHL. The 19-year-old has good size (6-foot-2, 168 lbs), terrific mobility and puck skills that should make him a point-producer in the NHL in the near future. With veterans clogging up the Penguins’ blueline, Joseph is likely headed to the AHL to start the 2019-20 season.
The Coyotes select Pierre-Olivier Joseph with the 23rd overall pick.
