GAME LOG

INJURIES

Pots goal in overtime loss McGroarty scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Impact McGroarty logged his first goal and point in six games for the Penguins this season. He's added 17 shots on net, nine hits and a minus-3 rating. He was tearing up the AHL after recovering from an upper-body injury, but the 21-year-old winger has been challenged by the NHL while seeing middle-six minutes. He's not a must have in fantasy until he lands alongside Sidney Crosby on the top line, which is a spot he'll have to earn by first succeeding lower in the lineup.

DECEMBER 1 • SPORTSNETPITTSBURGH.COM
Called up from minors McGroarty was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.
Impact McGroarty has been lighting it up in the minors since returning from an upper-body injury, generating four goals and three assists in five minor-league tilts with the Baby Pens. While the 21-year-old winger could move into a top-six role for Pittsburgh, he likely will start his time with the Penguins on the third line with fellow youngster Ben Kindel.
DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Three points in Wednesday's win McGroarty scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-3 win over Hershey on Wednesday.
Impact McGroarty is proving quickly that he's a little too talented for the AHL. He's scored in three straight games and has five total points in that span since joining the minor-league team after getting cleared of an upper-body injury. Expect the Penguins to remain cautious with the 21-year-old, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him get called up to Pittsburgh at any point this season.
NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Two goals in as many AHL games McGroarty scored a goal in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 1-0 win over Providence on Saturday.
Impact McGroarty has two goals in as many games since joining the AHL club. The plan is for the 21-year-old winger to get up to speed with WBS after missing training camp and the first month of the season due to an upper-body injury. If he continues to play well, he'll be a candidate to join the NHL club later in the campaign.
NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Sent to AHL McGroarty (upper body) was activated from non-roster injured reserve and assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
Impact McGroarty is ready to play after missing all of training camp and Pittsburgh's first 18 games of the season. He had one goal, two assists, 11 shots on net, five blocked shots and 12 hits in eight NHL appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. McGroarty will probably get another look with the big club at some point this campaign.
NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Lands on IR McGroarty was placed on season-opening injured reserve Monday, per PuckPedia.
Impact As expected, McGroarty's upper-body injury will keep him out for the start of the season. The No. 14 pick of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft racked up 14 goals and 25 assists in 60 games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last season and, once healthy, figures to see a middle-six role with the Penguins. Despite the injury, he remains a viable deep sleeper option in fantasy leagues.

Penguins Forward Rutger McGroarty Out Indefinitely As Camp Opens Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rutger McGroarty is out indefinitely, general manager Kyle Dubas announced as training camp opened.
SEPTEMBER 18 • SPORTSNETPITTSBURGH.COM
Sidelined indefinitely McGroarty will be out indefinitely with an upper-body injury, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports Thursday.
Impact While the team didn't offer any specifics, McGroarty's status for Opening Night against the Rangers on Oct. 7 seems to be in doubt. Once cleared to play, the 21-year-old winger should be in the mix for a middle-six role and could push even further up the depth chart if Bryan Rust or Rickard Rakell gets traded at some point. For now, tryout signee Robby Fabbri could benefit the most from some extra minutes.
SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Not ready for main camp McGroarty (undisclosed) won't be available for Thursday's on-ice practice session to begin training camp.
Impact The Penguins have yet to reveal any specifics around McGroarty's injury, which also caused him to miss the Penguins' Prospect Challenge. The 21-year-old winger is not medically cleared to play yet, and a longer absence during camp could negatively impact his chances of making the Penguins' Opening Night roster.

Dealing with undisclosed injury McGroarty will not take part in the Penguins' Prospect Challenge after suffering an undisclosed injury, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports Wednesday.
Impact McGroarty's status is expected to be updated ahead of training camp, but any delay in his ability to start logging ice time with the full squad could limit his chances of making the Opening Night roster. If healthy, McGroarty could be in line for a middle-six role with the Pens this year, and should be a full-time option as the club looks to get younger.

Skating Thursday McGroarty (lower body) is skating at the USA Hockey's national goaltender development camp, Sean Shapiro of DLLS Sports reports.
Impact McGroarty missed the final three games of the regular season with the injury. The rookie had one goal and two assists in eight regular-season games with the Penguins after racking up 14 goals and 25 assists in 60 AHL appearances. McGroarty is expected to make the Penguins' roster out of training camp in October.

Impact McGroarty was starting to find some chemistry with Penguins captain Sidney Crosby on the top line, recording one goal, two assists and nine shots in five games. At this point, the 21-year-old winger seems like a near-lock to make the Opening Night roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and could find himself playing in that coveted first-line role with Crosby -- a sport that naturally offers fantasy upside.
