• Penguins' Ryan Shea: Picks up power-play helper

  2D ago • By RotoWire

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

• Penguins' Ryan Shea: Losing playing-time battle

  11/01/2024 • By RotoWire

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

  04/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Shea played in 31 games as a rookie this season but managed just one point to go with 24 hits, 24 blocks and 17 shots. Shea started all nine April games during the Penguins' last-gasp push for a postseason spot, seemingly earning the trust of the coaching staff. If the team would like to keep Shea in a third-pairing role for next season, the Pens will need to sign him to an extension prior to July 1 or risk him agreeing to terms with a different team.
