Out at least four weeks Brazeau (upper body) will miss at least the next four weeks, the team announced Wednesday.
Impact Brazeau's injury has already cost him Pittsburgh's past two games. The 27-year-old was off to a great start with six goals and 12 points. It helped that he was playing alongside Evgeni Malkin, who was on the scoresheet for nine of Brazeau's 12 points. Philip Tomasino is now getting an opportunity to play regularly alongside Malkin due to Brazeau's absence.

Hot streak continues Brazeau scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 shootout loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Brazeau skated down the left side and his shot found space between Samuel Ersson's pad and the goal post. He's been a revelation this season. In 11 games, Brazeau has six goals, six assists and 21 shots while averaging a modest 13:26. Two of his goals have been clutch game winners. Keep rolling him out there as long as he continues this pace. Better yet, trade Brazeau -- someone will bite and you'll net a more consistent performer. The 27-year-old's previous best season was 11 goals and 11 assists in 75 games with Boston and Minnesota.

Two helpers against St. Louis Brazeau picked up two assists in Monday's 6-3 win over the Blues.
Impact The 27-year-old winger remains on track for a breakout campaign while skating on the Penguins' second line alongside a rejuvenated Evgeni Malkin. Brazeau has as many multi-point performances so far in 2025-26 as he does goose eggs (three of each), and through 10 games he's piled up five goals and 11 points -- halfway to his point total over 76 regular-season games from last season.

Stays hot with three-point effort Brazeau scored a power-play goal and added two assists, one with the man advantage, in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
Impact The 27-year-old is having an incredible start to his first season with Pittsburgh after signing a modest two-year, $3 million contract with the team this offseason. Brazeau has five goals and eight points through seven games, and his efforts have been rewarded with time in the top six at even strength and now a spot on the second power-play unit -- Tuesday's PP points were his first of the campaign. Regression is inevitable considering his bloated 35.7 percent shooting, however.

Scores again Tuesday Brazeau scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.
Impact Brazeau has four goals over four games to begin 2025-26. It's arguably one of the most surprising happenings in the league early in the campaign, though Brazeau's strong play has earned him a look alongside Evgeni Malkin on the second line. Brazeau has added 10 shots on net, seven hits, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The 27-year-old has typically featured in a bottom-six role in his previous NHL stops in Minnesota and Boston, so he should have no trouble handling business in his own zone.

Pots winner Thursday Brazeau scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Islanders.
Impact After tickling twine twice in Tuesday's season opener, Brazeau stayed locked in Thursday, taking a cross-ice feed from Evgeni Malkin late in the third period and beating Ilya Sorokin with a slick move to his backhand to snap a 3-3 tie. Brazeau managed just 11 goals and 22 points over 76 regular-season games split between the Bruins and Wild in his first full NHL campaign in 2024-25, but he's shown a remarkable knack for clutch play already -- he had the GWG in both Penguins victories to begin the current campaign, and six of his 19 NHL goals so far have been game-winners. The 27-year-old posted big offensive numbers in the OHL and ECHL earlier in his career and produced 18 goals and 37 points in 49 games for AHL Providence in 2023-24, and Brazeau could surprise if given the opportunity in Pittsburgh.
