Conor Sheary News
Sheary (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Friday.

Sheary has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since January 31st, but has been skating and took part in the morning skate, so there’s a good chance he returns to the lineup tonight. He skated with Sidney Crosby this morning, so if he plays, make sure you get him back in your lineup. He has registered 17 goals and 18 assists (35 points) in 42 games this season.

Sheary will miss 4-6 weeks with an upper-body injury.

Sheary was hurt during Tuesday’s win over the Predators and will miss at least one month. This is a tough break for the young winger, who has built up a great chemistry with Sidney Crosby this season. Sheary is third on the Penguins in goals (17) and his injury should allow Chris Kunitz or Jake Guentzel to move to the top line.

Sheary late addition to the Penguins lineup with Kunitz out.

Sheary was expected to be a healthy scratch on Saturday, but Chris Kunitz was a late scratch, so Sheary will be in the lineup vs. the Canucks. Sheary will likely skate on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Patric Hornqvist—he has two goals and one assist in 14 games this season.
