Date News Advice
Dec. 3, 2024 Pickering scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-4 overtime win over Florida. - It was his first NHL goal in his sixth game. Pickering fired a wrist shot from the point past a screen from Michael Bunting. At 20 years and 311 days, he becomes the 11th youngest defenseman in Penguins history to score a goal. Pickering was picked 21st overall in the 2022 NHL Draft and is looking like a natural on the Pens blue line. None
Nov. 30, 2024 Pickering (illness) will be a game-time decision versus Calgary on Saturday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports. - Pickering has sat out the last two games. He has one assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and one hit in four appearances this season. If Pickering returns to the lineup against the Flames, Ryan Shea or Jack St. Ivany could be a healthy scratch. None
Nov. 29, 2024 Pickering (illness) will miss Friday's tilt against Boston. - Pickering has an assist, one hit and two blocks in four outings in 2024-25. This will be Pittsburgh's second straight game without him in the lineup. When available, Pickering might serve on the third pairing. None
Nov. 28, 2024 Pickering (illness) missed practice Thursday and is considered questionable ahead of Friday's tilt versus Boston, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports. - Pickering was unable to play Wednesday against the Canucks with his illness. Coach Mike Sullivan stated that Pickering is still being evaluated and may not travel with the Penguins to Boston on Friday. Pickering has one assist in four games this season. If he is unable to go, look for Jack St. Ivany to remain in the lineup. None
Nov. 27, 2024 Pickering (illness) won't play Wednesday versus the Canucks. - Pickering has been gaining a foothold in the lineup, playing in four straight games. The 20-year-old will sit out at least one game, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to return versus the Bruins on Friday. None
Nov. 17, 2024 Pickering logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks. - While it was a fairly tame first assignment, Pickering was able to handle third-pairing duties in the absence of Kris Letang (illness). It didn't take long for Pickering to earn his first point, as he helped out on a Jesse Puljujarvi tally in the first period. Pickering won't solve all of the Penguins' defensive problems, but he has a chance to make a push to stick around after failing to make the team out of camp. The 20-year-old blueliner is unlikely to be a future fantasy stud, but he's a heady player who should be a benefit in his own zone now and in future seasons for Pittsburgh. None
Nov. 15, 2024 Pickering was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday. - Pickering's promotion could be an indication there is an injury or illness to one of the Pens' blueliners, though it might also be an attempt to see if anything can stem the flow of opposition goals considering Pittsburgh is giving up 3.83 per game (second worst in the league). If the 6-foot-4 Pickering does get into Friday's matchup with Columbus it figures to be in a third-pairing role -- likely at the expense of Ryan Shea. None
Oct. 10, 2023 Pickering (undisclosed) was assigned to the WHL's Swift Current Broncos on Monday. - Pickering has evidently put the undisclosed injury he was dealing with at the start of training camp behind him. The 2022 first-round pick will likely spend the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign in the WHL. None
Sept. 14, 2023 Pickering is battling an undisclosed injury, according to Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com. - The hope is Pickering will be available for the start of Pittsburgh's training camp, which begins Sept. 21. The 19-year-old defenseman had nine goals and 45 points in 61 WHL games with Swift Current last season. None
Oct. 1, 2022 Pickering was reassigned to WHL Swift Current on Saturday, per CapFriendly. - Pickering was limited by an upper-body injury in training camp and didn't play in a preseason game. With little chance to get up to speed, he'll instead begin the year in the junior ranks, where he'll likely spend most or all of 2022-23. None
Sept. 15, 2022 Pickering sustained an upper-body injury that will limit him during the Penguins' rookie camp, Pens Inside Scoop reports Thursday. - Pickering was selected by the Penguins with the 21st overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft and should be considered a dark horse candidate to secure a spot on the 23-man roster for Opening Night. If his upper-body injury lingers into the start of training camp, it will certainly hurt his chances as well. None
