Impact Joseph seems to have found his offensive upside of late with one goal and three assists in his last six outings while averaging 18:26 of ice time. The 24-year-old blueliner won't be matching his 2022-23 point total (21) but can still get over the 10-point threshold with just one more marker this season.

Not playing Saturday Joseph (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Blues, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Impact Joseph has been a healthy scratch for the last four games, so his absence won't make waves in fantasy. The 24-year-old should be considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Islanders. John Ludvig continues to play on the third pairing when Joseph is excluded from the lineup.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returning against Arizona Joseph (lower body) will be in the lineup versus the Coyotes on Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact Joseph will be in the lineup for the first time since Nov. 4 versus the Sharks, a stretch of 16 games on the shelf due to his lower-body injury. The blueliner has managed just one assist, six shots and one hit in five appearances this season. With Joseph returning, Ryan Shea is expected to be relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch.

On conditioning assignment Joseph (lower body) was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday for a conditioning stint.

Impact Joseph has played in just one game -- Nov. 4 against the Sharks -- over the Pens' last 20 contests due to his lower-body problem. The Baby Pens will be in action both Friday and Saturday, which pushes Joseph's potential return date for Pittsburgh back to Dec. 12 versus Arizona at the earliest. Even once given the all-clear, Joseph is far from a lock for a spot in the Penguins' lineup and could serve as a healthy scratch periodically.

Participates in optional skate Joseph (lower body) was on the ice for Monday's optional skate.

Impact Joseph shouldn't be expected to suit up versus the Flyers on Monday but appears to be trending in the right direction. The fact that the young blueliner is with the Pens for their three-game road trip is certainly an indication that he could be cleared to play soon. In the meantime, Ryan Shea and John Ludvig figure to hold down third-pairing roles.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out indefinitely Joseph (lower body) has no clear recovery timeline and will be sidelined indefinitely, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports Tuesday.

Impact Joseph was already on injured reserve but this latest news certainly doesn't bode well for his return in the near term. With the young blueliner on the shelf and Chad Ruhwedel week-to-week with a lower-body problem, the Penguins will no doubt be hoping that John Ludvig can clear concussion protocol ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Rangers.

Impact Joseph had been a healthy scratch for five straight games before drawing back in Saturday. He was able to get his first point of the campaign, an assist on a Jake Guentzel goal in the second period, but this was against a soft opponent. Joseph has added five shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through five appearances. He'll likely continue to compete for a spot on the third pairing throughout the season.

Records assist against Devils Joseph earned an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 defeat to New Jersey.

Impact Joseph was able to end a five-game pointless streak with his helper, though he remains mired in a six-game goalless streak. The 23-year-old blueliner has sent new personal best this year in games played (71), goals (five) and assists (16). The Quebec native figures to be a mainstay on the Penguins' blue line heading into the postseason and beyond.

Scores in loss Joseph scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Dallas.

Impact Joseph cut the Stars' lead to 3-2 in the third period, beating Jake Oettinger with a wrist shot to traffic. The goal was Joseph's first since Feb. 10, though he now has points in his last three contests. The 23-year-old defenseman has seen his role increase lately with a rash of injuries on Pittsburgh's blueline, and Joseph has taken advantage of the opportunity so far. He's up to five goals and 15 assists with a plus-9 rating through 65 games this season.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Helpers in consecutive contests Joseph notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact With the Penguins missing four regulars on the blue line, Joseph has ascended to a top-pairing role with time on the second power-play unit. It's paying off, as he has an assist in each of the last two contests after going 12 games without a point. The 23-year-old has four goals, 15 helpers, 95 shots on net, 79 hits, 32 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 64 outings. His role will likely shrink a bit once Jeff Petry (upper body), but Joseph should maintain top-four minutes for a while.

Grabs assist in defeat Joseph registered an assist versus the Senators on Monday.

Impact Joseph ended a 12-game pointless streak with his helper against Ottawa. Since serving as a healthy scratch for three contests in mid-March, the 23-year-old blueliner has been putting plenty of pucks on net with 11 shots over his last four outings. Despite shooting more, the Quebec native hasn't found the back of the net since his two-goal performance versus Anaheim on Feb. 10.
