Returns on third pairing Pettersson (upper body) was minus-2 with two shots and one hit in Tuesday's 3-1 setback to Washington.
Impact Pettersson, who had missed the previous nine games with his injury, logged just over 14 minutes of ice time on Pittsburgh's third defensive pairing in his return and saw substantial duty on the penalty kill. The 24-year-old provided 22 points in 69 games last season but has just one goal through five contests in 2020-21.

Good to go Pettersson (upper body) will play in Tuesday's game versus the Capitals.
Impact Pettersson is back in action after spending nine games on injured reserve. The 24-year-old collected 22 points over 69 games last season. He's slated to skate on the third pairing with Cody Ceci.

Taken off injured reserve Pettersson (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve Tuesday ahead of a matchup with Washington, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Officially a game-time decision, it seems unlikely the Penguins would remove Pettersson from injured reserve only to have him sit. In the past, the youngster has paired up with John Marino but could find himself instead playing with Cody Ceci on Tuesday in order to limit his minutes.

Game-time call Tuesday Pettersson (upper body) was labeled a game-time decision against the Capitals on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Impact Pettersson completed the team's full practice session Monday without suffering any apparent setbacks. If the 24-year-old blueliner does suit up, it would be his first game since Jan. 19 versus Washington, a stretch of nine games on the shelf. Chad Ruhwedel or Cody Ceci figures to be the odd man out in favor of Pettersson, who will have to be activated off injured reserve in order to play.

Full practice participant Pettersson (upper body) completed Monday's practice session, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Pettersson could be approaching a return to the lineup following his nine-game stint on injured reserve due to his upper-body issue. Once cleared to play, Pettersson could see his minutes reduced compared to his pre-injury levels (17:19 per game) thanks to the emergence of Pierre-Olivier Joseph.

Remains unavailable Pettersson (upper body) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Capitals, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Petterson started skating with a non-contact jersey Saturday. However, the Penguins won't rush him back, so he'll remain on injured reserve for now. The 24-year-old's next chance to play is Tuesday's rematch against the Caps.

Sheds non-contact sweater Pettersson (upper body) wore a normal jersey during Saturday's practice, indicating he's been cleared to start taking contact, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Pettersson is clearly nearing a return to action, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him activated off injured reserve prior to Sunday afternoon's matchup with Washington. The 24-year-old blueliner picked up one goal through four games to start the season before suffering an upper-body injury.

Impact Pettersson has already missed seven games due to his upper-body issue and seems likely to remain unavailable for Thursday's matchup with the Islanders. Once the 24-year-old blueliner can return to being a full practice participant, it should clear the way for him to rejoin the lineup and be activated off injured reserve.

Impact Pettersson has already missed the team's previous seven contests but appears to be progressing in the right direction, yet considering he isn't practicing with the team, the blueliner likely won't be ready in time to suit up versus the Islanders on Thursday. Once cleared to play, the 24-year-old Swede should retake his spot in Pittsburgh's top-four, though the emergence of Pierre-Olivier Joseph could see him pushed further down the lineup.

Shifts to IR Pettersson (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, CapFriendly reports.
Impact Petterson's placement on IR is retroactive to Jan. 19, so he's eligible to return to the lineup at anytime. There's no indication that he's returned to skating yet, so it's tough to pinpoint his timeline to return. The rest of the Penguins' blue line is in rough shape as well, as Brian Dumoulin (lower body), Mike Matheson (upper body) and Kris Letang (undisclosed) are all battling injuries.

Considered week-to-week Pettersson (upper body) was labeled week-to-week by coach Mike Sullivan, Pens Inside Scoop reports.
Impact Given Pettersson's recovery timeline, it seems unlikely he will travel with the team for its upcoming four-game road trip, which would see him out of the lineup for at least the next six contests. If that's the case, Pettersson will likely be designated for injured reserve in the coming days. With Mike Matheson (upper body) and Juuso Riikola (upper body) both facing extended absences, Chad Ruhwedel and Cody Ceci should be expected to take on bigger roles while more minutes head toward stalwarts Kris Letang and Brian Dumoulin.
