Shea spent a portion of the season with Pittsburgh but has not been in the lineup since December 8th. The 26-year-old has zero points, 13 shots, and 13 hits in 19 games this season.

Shea has appeared in 22 games this season but has yet to pick up a point while collecting 13 SOG, six PIMs and a -2 plus/minus. He was reassigned to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) on Tuesday but immediately recalled on Wednesday after John Ludvig (undisclosed) was placed on IR.

Shea has appeared in 22 games this season but has yet to pick up a point while collecting 13 SOG, six PIMs and a -2 plus/minus but has been reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) Tuesday. The 26-year-old will have to wait to acquire his first career NHL point as he heads back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton where he had no points in four games prior to his original promotion.

Shea has been a regular in the lineup for the Penguins this season but has been a healthy scratch for the last three games. His placement on unconditional waivers coincides with Chad Ruhwedel preparing to return to the Penguins lineup and Pierre-Olivier Joseph returning last week.

Pierre-Olivier Joseph will re-enter the lineup after a brief conditioning stint with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL), as Shea will watch the game from the press box as a healthy scratch. Shea has zero points in 22 games this season, averaging 12:28 time-on-ice.

Shea had seven goals, 21 assists, 36 PIMs and a +37 plus/minus through 70 games with the Texas Stars (AHL) and has signed a one-year, one-way $775,00 contract with Pittsburgh. The 26-year-old was drafted by Chicago in 2015 in the fourth-round (121st overall) and has yet to make his NHL debut despite his constant success at the AHL level.

Shea was a fourth-round pick of the Blackhawks in 2015 and signed with the Stars in 2020. He spent the last two seasons in Texas (AHL), where he had three goals and 35 assists (38 points) in 93 games combined.
