Pickering fully participated in Tuesday's morning skate before being ruled out, and the Penguins' medical staff will want to see how he feels in the hours leading up to Friday's puck drop before determining his status against the Panthers. The 20-year-old made 14 appearances before sustaining his injury, racking up a goal, an assist, 12 blocked shots and six hits while averaging 15:47 of ice time. |
While he's officially a game-time decision for Friday's game versus the Panthers, this move clears the way for Pickering to return from a four-game absence. If he suits up, he'll likely be eased back in with bottom-four minutes. He has two points, 12 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 14 NHL appearances this season. |

Pickering has been sidelined due to a concussion for the past week and a half, but his full participation in Tuesday's practice suggests that he's trending in the right direction. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him cleared for game action in early January. |

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. |

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).
