Matt Coronato scored in the third period to lift the Calgary Flames over the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 on Saturday

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.

Brazeau has hat trick, Rust scores twice as Penguins rout Blackhawks 7-3

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.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • Associated Press

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.

Returning versus Sabres Shea (upper body) will be in the lineup against Buffalo on Thursday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact Shea will suit up for the first time since March 9 versus the Wild due to his upper-body injury. While head coach Mike Sullivan didn't specifically say who would be coming out of the lineup to make way for Shea, it seems likely that Ryan Graves will find himself relegated to the press box. For his part, Shea has notched two goals, three assists and 10 hits in 30 NHL games for the Pens while logging 16:55 of ice time.

MARCH 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss time Shea has been deemed week-to-week with an upper-body injury, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.

Impact Shea received a season-high 24:18 of ice time in Sunday's 3-1 win over Minnesota, so it's unclear when he picked up the injury. With Shea set to miss some time, Ryan Graves will draw back into the lineup Tuesday against the Golden Knights. The Penguins also recalled Sebastian Aho from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on an emergency basis Tuesday, so he could be in the mix for playing time as well while Shea is sidelined.

Re-ups with Pittsburgh Shea signed a one-year, $900,000 contract extension with the Penguins on Friday.

Impact Shea had a rough start to the campaign, but his play has really come around in recent weeks. He has three points over six contests since play resumed after the 4 Nations Face-Off, and he's moved up into a top-four role. Shea still doesn't have a lot of fantasy value, but he has secured his spot with the Penguins through the 2025-26 campaign.

First career two-goal game Shea found the back of the net on both of his shots and went plus-1 in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Shea scored his first goal of the season less than a minute into the final frame to the tie game. He added another marker less than three minutes later to give Pittsburgh a 3-2 lead. Shea's 20:37 of ice time was a season high, but that can mostly be attributed to Matt Grzelcyk leaving the game with an upper-body injury. This was Shea's first appearance since Jan. 27 -- he's often been a healthy scratch this season, but Sunday's performance may have opened the door for more opportunities for the 28-year-old. Shea will be an unrestricted free agent come July, so he should have a lot to prove during the final stretch of the campaign.

Makes rare appearance Saturday Shea had two shots on goal over 15:42 of ice time in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Shea had been scratched for the first 11 games of January, but he checked in for Pierre-Olivier Joseph in this contest. It wasn't a performance that would turn heads, so Shea may be back to the press box shortly. The 27-year-old has managed two assists, a minus-6 rating, 10 shots on net and 27 blocked shots through 21 outings this season. Shea, Joseph and Ryan Graves are in the mix for third-pairing minutes.

Picks up power-play helper Shea posted a power-play assist in Monday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Shea ended a seven-game point drought with his helper on a Blake Lizotte tally late in the contest. Don't expect Shea to be a factor with the man advantage moving forward, as Kris Letang, Erik Karlsson and Matt Grzelcyk have firm grips on power-play time. For the season, Shea has struggled with offense in generally, collecting two assists and seven shots on net as well as 24 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 17 appearances.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds first point of season Shea notched an assist and four blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Canucks.

Impact Shea set up a Blake Lizotte tally in the first period. The 27-year-old Shea has played in six of the Penguins' last seven games, though he remains in competition with Jack St. Ivany, Ryan Graves and Owen Pickering (illness) for playing time. Shea has added four shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over nine outings this season.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Losing playing-time battle Shea was scratched for Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over the Ducks, the 10th time in 12 games he's sat out.

Impact Shea remains in the NHL as a seventh defenseman, but he's behind Jack St. Ivany on the depth chart for a third-pairing job. In his two appearances, Shea has a minus-2 rating, two shots on goal and five blocked shots. The Penguins' defense hasn't exactly been a standout group so far, but Shea has minimal upside on offense -- he produced just one goal and no assists over 31 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Snags two-way contract Shea agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Monday.

Impact Shea logged 31 regular-season games for the Penguins last season, recording one goal, 17 shots and 24 hits while averaging 12:37 of ice time. With the club also going out and getting Matt Grzelcyk in free agency, the 27-year-old Shea will be hard-pressed to make the Opening Night roster -- though he could challenge John Ludvig (wrist) or Jack St. Ivany for a spot.

JULY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On waivers Shea was put on waivers Thursday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Shea had a goal, 24 hits and 24 blocks in 31 contests with Pittsburgh in 2023-24. Assuming he clears waivers, Shea can be sent to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the squad's playoff run. The 27-year-old has provided two goals and six points in 22 outings with the minor-league club this campaign. The blueliner can become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
