Will miss Sunday Shea (upper body) will not play Sunday against the Hurricanes, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact Shea left Saturday's game with injury in the second period, and it will cost him at least one full game as well. The 29-year-old has enjoyed a strong season, notching 28 points (four goals, 24 assists) and a plus-24 rating in 69 games. He is officially day-to-day with his next chance of a return being Tuesday against the Avalanche.

No update following injury No update was given regarding Shea (face) following Saturday's 5-4 home win over the Jets, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Impact Shea exited Saturday's contest after being hit in the face with a puck during the second period, but he ultimately returned to the bench in a full face shield in the third. Head coach Dan Muse had no update regarding Shea's status moving forward, which likely makes the blueliner day-to-day for the time being. His status will be monitored ahead of the Penguins' home game against Carolina on Sunday.

Bags pair of apples Shea logged two assists and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Shea has three helpers over his last three outings. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to be quietly effective for the Penguins, handling top-four minutes while chipping in depth scoring. He's at 27 points (four goals, 23 assists) with 64 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 34 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-25 rating across 65 appearances.

Outstanding season continues Shea scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers.

Impact Shea has a point in each of the Pens' two games since the Olympic break (one goal, one assist). The 29-year-old defender is having an outstanding season. Shea had six points (three goals, three assists), 36 shots and a minus-8 rating in 70 games over the last two seasons, but he already has four goals, 20 assists, 59 shots and a plus-23 stat line in 2025-26. That would give Shea a reasonable shot at a 33-point season. Not bad for a guy with 186 AHL games under his belt after a full four-year career at Northeastern University.

One of each Thursday Shea scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and logged two hits in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Shea has a goal and four assists during his four-game point streak. While the Penguins' defense is nearly at full health again, Shea has remained productive from the third pairing. He's up to three goals, 21 points, 51 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-21 rating over 52 appearances. Shea's stats don't jump off the page, but he's been steady enough to help in deep fantasy formats.

Puts up assist Wednesday Shea registered an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Impact With both Erik Karlsson (lower body) and Kris Letang (upper body) out, Shea saw a larger power-play role in this contest. His helper came at even strength, as Shea set up Evgeni Malkin on the opening goal at 7:49 of the first period. The 28-year-old Shea snapped an 11-game point drought with the assist, which gives him 17 points, 44 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-16 rating over 49 appearances this season.

Distributes three helpers Shea logged three assists, four blocked shots, two hits and a plus-5 rating in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Shea matched his offensive output from the last 14 games combined. He helped out on goals by Anthony Mantha, Bryan Rust and Justin Brazeau in this blowout win. Shea was a top-four regular earlier in the season, but Brett Kulak's arrival via trade from the Oilers has eaten into Shea's minutes. This is still a career year for Shea, who has two goals, 14 helpers, 32 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-14 rating over 37 appearances.

Contributes two helpers Shea logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Shea helped out on Bryan Rust's go-ahead goal in the third period as well as Connor Dewar's empty-netter. This performance ended a seven-game skid for Shea, who has maintained a top-four role on defense this season even as his offense has faltered. The blueliner is up to 10 points, 21 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 22 appearances. Given his production, he may be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats, though his offense is unlikely to stay on this pace all year.

Two points in win Thursday Shea recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Shea evened the score for the Penguins early in the second period with a slap shot, and he'd later participate in the build-up of the game-winning goal, courtesy of Bryan Rust, in the final frame. Shea is now up to seven points this season and surpassed his tally from the 2024-25 campaign.

Tallies in shootout loss Shea scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Shea snapped a three-game point drought with the goal. The 28-year-old defenseman has done a fine job filling a top-four role this year. He's up to five points, eight shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through nine appearances while averaging 20:50 of ice time. Shea has already matched his point total from a 39-game sample last season, and while he probably won't sustain his current pace, he should be able to push for 25-30 points in 2025-26.

Contributes two helpers Shea notched two assists, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Shea has earned three helpers over four games to begin the year. The 28-year-old continues to play on the second pairing alongside Kris Letang, with Shea handling more of a shutdown role. Shea has added eight blocks and a plus-2 rating, so he's getting the job done on the defensive side.

Collects assist in opener Shea recorded an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.

Impact Shea ended 2024-25 in a top-four role, and that's where he started 2025-26 as well, logging 22:31 of ice time in the season opener. The 28-year-old had just five points in 39 outings last year, so he shouldn't be considered a significant scoring threat on the blue line. Shea should still be able to maintain a sizable role as long as he takes care of business in his own zone, but he offers minimal fantasy appeal since he doesn't stand out in any one area.
