St. Ivany (hand) was put on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany was injured Jan. 25 and had surgery two days later. He is expected to miss up to eight weeks. St. Ivany has seven assists, 40 hits and 23 blocked shots over 17 NHL appearances this season. The Penguins recalled Rutger McGroarty from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in a corresponding move.

St. Ivany underwent successful surgery on his left hand, and his expected recovery time is up to eight weeks, the Penguins announced Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany sustained his hand injury Sunday in Vancouver. Considering the amount of time he will miss, the 26-year-old will likely be placed on injured reserve at some point in the near future. Connor Clifton and Ilya Solovyov will compete for playing time on the third pairing while St. Ivany is sidelined.

St. Ivany (upper body) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game in Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany logged one blocked shot in 2:54 of ice time prior to departing the game. The 26-year-old blueliner will have several days to attempt to be ready for the Penguins' next game, which is at home Thursday versus Chicago. Ilya Solovyov and Connor Clifton will be options to play if St. Ivany is forced to miss any upcoming games.

St. Ivany notched two assists, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany has logged consecutive two-assist games. He helped out on tallies by Sidney Crosby and Yegor Chinakhov in this contest. St. Ivany is making a strong case to stay in the lineup once the Penguins' blue line is back to full strength -- the team is still missing Kris Letang (upper body) and Ryan Graves (lower body), though Erik Karlsson (lower body) returned Thursday. Over 16 contests, St. Ivany has seven helpers, 16 shots on net, 40 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating.

St. Ivany recorded two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany had been scratched Monday in Seattle, but he was back in the lineup for Kris Letang (upper body) in this contest. While his spot isn't secure, St. Ivany has done a decent job in a bottom-four role this season. He's at five assists, 16 shots on net, 38 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 15 appearances.

St. Ivany notched two assists, four shots on goal, five hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany has played in five of the Penguins' last six games, and it appears he has supplanted Connor Clifton, at least temporarily, for a third-pairing job. The pair of helpers Sunday accounted for St. Ivany's first points of the year. He's added nine shots on net, 18 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through five appearances. This was his first career multi-point effort, but his role makes it unlikely the 26-year-old blueliner will have much of an impact in fantasy.

St. Ivany (lower body) was activated off injured non-roster Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany hasn't played for Pittsburgh yet this season, but he did score a goal and five points across five appearances with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton as part of a conditioning stint. The 26-year-old is now an option to draw into the lineup, but he might not do so Thursday versus Montreal. Pittsburgh has eight healthy defenseman on its active roster, including St. Ivany.

St. Ivany (lower body) was recalled from his conditioning loan with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany generated one goal and four assists in five games during his conditioning assignment. Despite his call-up, he hasn't been added to Pittsburgh's active roster yet and remains on the injured non-roster list for now.

St. Ivany (lower body) was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for a conditioning loan Monday.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany has slowly been working his way back from his lower-body issue, most recently practicing in a regular jersey Friday. In 19 appearances last year, the 26-year-old blueliner registered one assist, 38 hits and 12 shots while averaging 16:22 of ice time. The Baby Pens suit up versus AHL Hershey on Wednesday, which means St. Ivany is unlikely to play for Pittsburgh before Friday's trip to Columbus.

St. Ivany (lower body) was in a regular sweater during Friday's morning skate, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

St. Ivany returned to the ice in a non-contact jersey Tuesday, and he continues to progress in his recovery. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action, but it seems possible that he'll be in the mix to do so at some point next week. However, he could require some time in the minors to work on his conditioning before he's able to suit up for Pittsburgh.
