Impact Dewar missed the final four games of the regular season due to a lower-body injury, but he practiced in a regular sweater Thursday and will be back in action for the start of the postseason. Dewar generated 14 goals, 16 assists, 144 hits, 46 blocked shots and 19 PIM over 78 regular-season appearances, and he should reclaim a fourth-line role now that he's healthy.

Working in regular seater Dewar (lower body) practiced in a regular jersey Thursday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Impact Dewar was previously deemed week-to-week but seems to be trending in the right direction ahead of the postseason. The 26-year-old center has missed the Pens' prior four contests due to his lower-body problem. The Manitoba native is currently mired in a 15-game goal drought during which he notched five assists, 21 hits and 11 shots. If given the all-clear, Dewar should reclaim a spot on the fourth line.

Impact Dewar will miss his second straight game against Washington on Saturday and won't be an option for the remainder of the regular season. He has earned 14 goals, 30 points, 110 shots on net and 144 hits across 78 appearances in 2025-26.

Out of action Thursday Dewar (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Devils.

Impact Dewar is considered day-to-day at this time. The Penguins could lock up a playoff spot with a win, so Dewar may be eased back into action. The 26-year-old plays a key defensive role, so he'll likely be aiming to be ready for a playoff opener rather than playing in any of the last three regular-season contests.

Provides pair of helpers Dewar logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Dewar picked up his first multi-point effort since Jan. 31 versus the Rangers. The 26-year-old forward continues to center the fourth line, providing defensive stability and a decent share of depth offense this year. He's got career highs across the board with 14 goals, 13 helpers, 100 shots on net, 130 hits and a plus-12 rating through 67 appearances.

The 26-year-old is up to 14 goals, 25 points, 99 shots on net, 123 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 63 appearances in the best season of his career to date.

Impact Dewar has multiple points in three of his last six games, producing four goals, two assists, 10 shots, 19 hits and a plus-8 rating.

Two goal, four hit night Dewar scored two goals in a 6-2 win over the Blackhawks on Thursday. He added four hits.

Impact The forward has 13 goals, eight assists, 80 shots and 95 hits in 52 games this season. Dewar is a fourth-line winger who has surprising fantasy value with his goals-hits combination. It's always a bit of roll of the dice if you're trying to pad that bruise category -- it's tempting to stick in a pylon. But a guy like Dewar, who seems to have decent hands, could deliver you a boost. That is, if you can plug him and let him ride. Trying to market time activations on guys like this are impossible.

Impact Every Penguin forward got on the board, including Dewar with a third-period insurance tally.

He's two points shy of matching his career high from 2023-24, split between Toronto and Minnesota.
