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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
