INJURIES

Shipped down to minors McGroarty was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
Impact McGroarty picked up an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sabres, his fifth point in 20 NHL games this year. If the Penguins are healthy coming out of the Olympic break, McGroarty could find himself spending another extended stint in the minors with the Baby Pens.

JANUARY 30 • Associated Press
Brought up from minors McGroarty was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
Impact McGroarty could be pressed into service for Thursday's clash with Chicago while Bryan Rust is serving his three-game suspension. If the 21-year-old McGroarty does play, he could find himself slotting into a first-line role alongside Sidney Crosby in order to keep the rest of the Penguins' lines intact.
JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE
Logs three helpers in AHL win McGroarty registered three assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-3 shootout win over Hershey on Friday.
Impact McGroarty was dealing with a concussion earlier in January, but he returned to the AHL on Sunday. He's earned four assists over three games since rejoining the Baby Penguins. He's at 11 points and 23 shots on net over eight appearances at the AHL level. He doesn't have a lot to prove with the minor-league team, but the Penguins may let him get an extended run before bringing him back up to the NHL in what's been an injury-plagued season for the young winger.
JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Off IR, loaned to AHL affiliate McGroarty (concussion) was activated from injured reserve and assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday.
Impact McGroarty was a healthy scratch against Columbus on Jan. 4 before missing six straight games due to injury. Now that he is ready to play again, he will get some time in the minors. McGroarty has amassed four goals and seven points in five AHL outings this season. He also has two goals, one assist, 28 shots on net and 16 hits in 16 NHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.
JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with concussion McGroarty was diagnosed with a concussion and is out indefinitely, the team announced Wednesday.
Impact McGraoarty was already placed on injured reserve early Wednesday, which effectively rules him out for the Penguins' next four games, though it could certainly be longer. It's a huge blow for the young winger, who already missed the first 18 games of the season due to an upper-body injury and is now set for another stint on the sidelines.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on injured reserve McGroarty was designated for injured reserve with an undisclosed injury Wednesday.
Impact According to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports, McGroarty left practice Tuesday after colliding with a teammate before leaving the session. The Penguins haven't provided any sort of update regarding the nature or severity of the 21-year-old winger's injury, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next four games now.

Penguins Forward Praises Play Of Stuart Skinner Despite Lopsided Loss Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rutger McGroarty praised the play of goalie Stuart Skinner following the team's 6-3 loss to Toronto.
DECEMBER 24, 2025 • SPORTSNETPITTSBURGH.COM
First goal in six games McGroarty scored a goal in a 6-3 win over Toronto on Tuesday.
Impact McGroarty intercepted a Leafs clearing attempt and fired a quick shot over Joseph Woll's glove from above the right circle. The goalie didn't stand much of a chance. The goal cut the score to 3-2 in the second period. McGroarty is experiencing some growing pains in the NHL. It was his first goal in six games and second of the season (three points, 26 shots; 12 games). His fantasy future is intact, but he should be on the wire in redraft leagues.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • Associated Press
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.

Dan Muse Makes Announcement Before Penguins-Flyers Clash Penguins' head coach revealed that both Boko Imama and Rutger McGroarty will be making their season debuts against the Flyers.
DECEMBER 1, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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 Takes Big Step In Recovery On Friday Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rutger McGroarty has missed all of training camp and the preseason with an upper-body injury.
OCTOBER 3, 2025 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM
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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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.
