Montreal traded Petry and Ryan Poehling to the Penguins in exchange for Mike Matheson and a 2023 fourth-round pick, PuckPedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry had a down year in 2021-22, collecting only six goals and 27 points while averaging 22:07 of ice time through 68 contests with the Canadiens, but he just racked up 12 goals and 42 points through 55 games with Montreal in 2020-21, and he could return to that form with a Penguins team that should be far better than last year's iteration of the Habs. Look for Petry to skate in a top-four role while seeing time with Pittsburgh's second power-play unit next season.

Petry scored two goals in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Petry showed a penchant for late heroics in this one. He put the Canadiens up 2-1 with nine seconds left in the second period, then broke a 3-3 tie with 31 seconds left in the third. It has been a disappointing season for the veteran defenseman, but Petry's been in vintage form with the pressure off down the stretch, notching six points in his last four games.

Petry recorded a pair of assists in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Petry's assists came on the power play, setting up Josh Anderson in the second period and Mike Hoffman in the third. The 34-year-old defenseman has been productive of late, recording eight assists in nine games since returning from a lower-body injury on April 9. Despite his recent hot streak, Petry will likely fall short of 40 points for the first time since the 2016-17 season. He currently sits at 24, with four goals and 20 assists.

Petry had two assists, two shots on net, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Petry's inching closer to the end of a trying season for the 34-year-old defenseman. After four straight seasons with 40-plus points, Petry stands at 20 with six games remaining. He also has two years left on a contract that nets him $12.5 million.

Petry notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Petry saw his shot attempt deflect in off Josh Anderson's knee, tying the game at 2-2 at 6:19 of the third period. In two games since he returned from a lower-body injury, Petry's earned a pair of assists, six blocked shots, five hits and a minus-2 rating. The veteran defenseman is up to 18 points, 95 shots, 129 hits, 98 blocks and a minus-12 rating in 59 outings this season.

Petry (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup with the Maple Leafs, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Confirmation on Petry's availability versus Toronto likely won't be released until Montreal takes the ice for pregame warmups. The 34-year-old vet has missed the last seven games due to a lower-body injury.

Petry is expected to be sidelined long term due to his lower-body injury, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry -- who was injured in Thursday's clash with Florida -- was already facing an uphill battle to get over the 40-point mark for the fifth straight season as he has just 16 points in 57 games this year. With an extended layoff, the veteran defenseman will almost certainly fail to reach that mark this year. Despite him being in the first year of a four-year contract, Petry's name circulated among trade rumors in the lead up to the deadline, and he could still be moved out this summer.

Petry (lower body) left Thursday's game versus the Panthers and will undergo further evaluation, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petry left the game in the second period and didn't return. Head coach Martin St. Louis expects more information on Petry's status should be available Friday, so he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs.

Petry had two assists, three shots on net and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Petry's two assists helped make up for his contributions to Arizona's first two goals. Barrett Hayton raced by him for a goal 1:57 into the game, then a little under two minutes later, Petry didn't pick up Anton Stralman in time. Nevertheless, Petry has picked up his offense with 10 points over the last 13 games, which could spark interest at the trade deadline, although he comes with a hefty price tag through the end of the 2024-25 season.
