Petry (upper body) will return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Red Wings, Penguins radio play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry missed the last five games with the injury, but his return should bolster the Penguins' defense corps. The 35-year-old is set to play on the second pairing and second power-play unit, which will likely cause Pierre-Olivier Joseph to lose some playing time.

Petry (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Detroit, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry has missed the last five games due to his upper-body issue but appears to be nearing a return to action. With Marcus Pettersson (lower body), Dmitry Kulikov (lower body) and Jan Rutta (lower body) all still sidelined, the Penguins could certainly use some reinforcements on the blue line. Whenever Petry is cleared to return, he figures to slot into a top-four role in addition to joining the No. 2 power-play unit.

Petry (upper body) isn't expected to play against the Avalanche on Wednesday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry also missed Pittsburgh's previous two contests. He is traveling with the team though, so Petry might still return for Thursday's game in Dallas. Through 52 appearances this season, the 35-year-old has five goals, 26 points, 168 hits and 86 blocks.

Petry (upper body) is with the Penguins for their two-game road trip, Rob Rossi of The Athletic reports Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Petry's potential return would be a huge boost for the Penguins' blue line, which is still without Marcus Pettersson (lower body), Jan Rutta (lower body) and Dmitry Kulikov (lower body). If Petry is cleared to play against Colorado or Dallas on Wednesday or Thursday, respectively, he figures to be a near-lock for the No. 2 power-play unit.

Petry (upper body) is considered day-to-day and will miss out against Ottawa on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Petry will be shelved for the second straight game due to his upper-body injury but may not be out long-term. The blueliner is stuck in a seven-game goal drought during which he managed just 10 shots and two assists. Taylor Fedun will suit up versus the Senators on Monday but could be dropped from the lineup once Petry is cleared to play.

Petry (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Rangers, Penguins radio play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry will miss a game after taking a high hit from Tyler Motte in Thursday's game versus the Rangers. The 35-year-old Petry hasn't registered a point in his last four outings. Look for Chad Ruhwedel to play in place of Petry for this contest.

Petry (upper body) left Thursday's game versus the Rangers in the first period, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry took a hit from Tyler Motte early in the first period and wasn't able to return to the game. He also left the Penguins' previous game early, so there's some overall concern about wear and tear. If he can't play in Saturday's rematch with the Rangers, Chad Ruhwedel would likely join the lineup.
