Rare goal in shootout loss
Clifton scored a goal and added five hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Impact
Clifton has played in four straight games after getting scratched for 11 of the previous 12 contests. For now, it looks like he has a third-pairing job locked down while Erik Karlsson (lower body) is out. The goal was Clifton's first point in 19 appearances, and he's added 15 shots on net, 80 hits, 31 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-4 rating.

Becoming regular in press box
Clifton was scratched for the ninth time in 10 games in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact
Jack St. Ivany has taken over a third-pairing role, leaving Clifton on the outside looking in frequently in recent weeks. With no points in 15 appearances. Clifton hasn't done anything to help his case for playing time. He's added 12 shots on net, 63 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating this season, and he may have to wait for an injury to open a spot in the lineup.

Searching for first point
Clifton had three hits and a blocked shot in 18:21 of ice time in Friday's 5-0 loss to the Wild.
Impact
Clifton has played in five of the Penguins' last six games, but he's suited up for just eight of 20 contests to begin the season. He's been held without a point while racking up 36 hits, 17 blocked shots, a minus-2 rating and six shots on net. Clifton should continue to provide plenty of physicality, but he could return to being a scratch when the Penguins want to get another look at Harrison Brunicke, who has been scratched for six straight games as the team buys itself time to decide if he'll be a full-time NHLer this year.

Joins flightless birds in trade
Clifton was traded, along with a 2025 second-round draft pick, to Pittsburgh on Saturday in exchange for Conor Timmins and Isaac Belliveau, reports
Impact
Clifton is best known for his bruise -- he pounded out 208 hits and 116 blocks last season. He'll bring much-needed muscle to the bottom of the Pens blue line corps, and he might even slot into the second pairing. Watch out, though -- Clifton's career ice time average is 16:43 over 384 games and seven seasons. Any limitations in his game could be exposed should his ice time take a big jump.
