Joseph (lower body) will be in the lineup versus the Sharks on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports. - Joseph was originally expected to miss Thursday's contest but seems to be ahead of schedule. With the 25-year-old blueliner back in the lineup, he figures to move into a third-pairing role alongside Corey Schueneman while Matt Kessel will be relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch. Considering Joseph has zero goals in 13 games this season while chopping in just one assist, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him for offensive output. |

Joseph registered eight points in the Penguins' last 18 games of the season. - Joseph managed just three points through his first 34 appearances, which included several stints in the press box as a healthy scratch before finding his game in mid-March while Ryan Graves (concussion) was sidelined.

| April 5, 2024 |
Joseph scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Capitals. - Joseph extended Pittsburgh's lead to 2-0 midway through the first period, beating Charlie Lindgren with a shot from the point. The 24-year-old Joseph has been productive since moving into a top-paring spot alongside Kris Letang with Ryan Graves (concussion) sidelined, tallying five points (two goals, three assists) in his last eight contests. He's up to two goals and 10 points through 46 games this season. |
None |
| April 2, 2024 |
Joseph recorded an assist in Monday's 5-2 upset of the Rangers. - 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. |
None |
| March 15, 2024 |
Joseph logged a pair of assists in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Sharks. - Both of Joseph's helpers came in the third period, setting up John Ludvig for the eventual game-winner before adding a second assist on Rickard Rakell's tally later in the frame. It's the first multi-point game this season for Joseph, who came into Thursday with just one point in his previous 25 contests. The 25-year-old blueliner now has five points, all assists, through 35 games this season while skating on the Pens' third defensive pairing. |

Joseph (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Blues, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports. - 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. |
None |
| Dec. 12, 2023 |
Joseph (lower body) will be in the lineup versus the Coyotes on Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports. - 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.

Joseph (lower body) was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday for a conditioning stint. - 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. |
None |
| Dec. 4, 2023 |
Joseph (lower body) was on the ice for Monday's optional skate. - 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 24-year-old 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. |
None |
| Nov. 21, 2023 |
Joseph (lower body) has no clear recovery timeline and will be sidelined indefinitely, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports Tuesday. - 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. |
None |
| Nov. 18, 2023 |
Joseph won't be available for Saturday's contest against Carolina due to a nagging lower-body injury, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports. - Joseph has apparently being dealing with the issue for the last little while, which could explain his absence from the lineup for the past five games.

None |

Joseph notched an assist in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Sharks. - 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. |
None |

Joseph (lower body) will play Friday versus the Sabres. - Joseph was hampered by a lower-body injury earlier in the week. The 24-year-old defenseman established himself with 21 points in 75 contests for the Penguins last year, and he should begin 2023-24 in a third-pairing role. |

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. |

| March 24, 2023 |
Joseph scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Dallas. - 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. |
None |
| March 22, 2023 |
Joseph notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. - 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. |
None |
| March 21, 2023 |
Joseph registered an assist versus the Senators on Monday. - 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. |
None |
| Feb. 18, 2023 |
Joseph notched two assists in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders. - The 23-year-old blueliner has two multi-point performances in the last four games, racking up two goals and five points in those contests, but those are his only points since Jan. 8. With Kris Letang and Jeff Petry both back in the lineup, Joseph's fantasy value is limited, but the 2017 first-round pick is demonstrating he might have some upside in Pittsburgh once the two veterans are out of the picture. |
None |
| Feb. 10, 2023 |
Joseph scored twice on four shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 6-3 win over the Ducks. - Joseph doubled his goal total for the season with a tally in each of the first two periods. He also set up Kasperi Kapanen's goal. Prior to Friday, Joseph was mired in an 11-game point drought, so this was a highly unexpected burst of offense. The 23-year-old is up to four goals, 11 helpers, 70 shots on net, 62 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 47 appearances. |
None |
| Jan. 8, 2023 |
Joseph logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes. - Joseph has been steady with a larger role lately, picking up a goal and three helpers over his last eight contests. For the season, the 23-year-old blueliner is up to 12 points, 54 shots on net, 47 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 35 appearances. The 23-year-old will likely remain on the third pairing at even strength, but he's earning power-play time with both Kris Letang (lower body/personal) and Jeff Petry (upper body) out. |
None |
| Dec. 28, 2022 |
Joseph scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Islanders. - Joseph generated the only offense of the night for the Penguins with his 10th point of the season. While the 23-year-old blueliner has become a mainstay in Pittsburgh's lineup this year, he will be hard-pressed to offer more than mid-range fantasy value and probably has an offensive ceiling in the 25-30 point range. |
None |
| Dec. 12, 2022 |
Joseph scored a power-play goal in the Penguins' 2-1 win against Dallas on Monday. - Joseph has a goal and eight points in 25 games this season. This was his 45th career NHL contest, and Joseph has provided two goals on 69 shots, so don't expected many more goals from him in 2022-23. That said, the 23-year-old entered the game averaging 1:01 of power-play ice time. That's not a lot, but it's enough to give him a bit of extra offensive potential. |
None |
| Nov. 30, 2022 |
Joseph delivered an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes. - Currently operating on the third defensive pair, Joseph seems to be holding his own. He's produced six assists to complement a plus-7 rating through 19 top-level games. These numbers don't move the needle much in fantasy hockey, but it leaves a lot of room for optimism once Joseph gains more NHL experience. Remember, Joseph was the 23rd overall pick (by Arizona) in 2017, and he has a nice blend of speed and skill to ultimately take on additional power-play responsibilities. |
None |
| Nov. 20, 2022 |
Joseph put up an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks. - Joseph picked up his first point in his last six outings, though he also missed three games with a lower-body injury in that span. The 23-year-old has been limited to a bottom-four role when he's in the lineup, so his chances to produce offense are infrequent. He's done well considering that, earning five assists, 18 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-8 rating through 15 appearances this season. |
None |
| Nov. 17, 2022 |

Joseph is being evaluated for a lower-body injury he sustained in Wednesday's game versus the Capitals, Taylor Haase of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. - Joseph went absent from the bench in the second period. It's unclear how he was injured, but he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game against the Maple Leafs. With Jan Rutta (upper body) also injured Wednesday, the Penguins may need to make a roster move to shore up their defensive depth if Joseph and Rutta are both deemed out Friday. |
None |
| July 12, 2022 |
Joseph signed a two-year, $1.65 million contract with the Penguins on Tuesday. - Joseph's deal is one-way in both seasons, so that bodes well for his chances of making the jump to the NHL level. The 23-year-old has picked up five points in 20 appearances across two seasons with Pittsburgh, and he added 33 points in 61 contests with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2021-22.
