Shea scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and logged two hits in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Shea has a goal and four assists during his four-game point streak. While the Penguins' defense is nearly at full health again, Shea has remained productive from the third pairing. He's up to three goals, 21 points, 51 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-21 rating over 52 appearances. Shea's stats don't jump off the page, but he's been steady enough to help in deep fantasy formats.

Shea registered an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
With both Erik Karlsson (lower body) and Kris Letang (upper body) out, Shea saw a larger power-play role in this contest. His helper came at even strength, as Shea set up Evgeni Malkin on the opening goal at 7:49 of the first period. The 28-year-old Shea snapped an 11-game point drought with the assist, which gives him 17 points, 44 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-16 rating over 49 appearances this season.

Shea logged three assists, four blocked shots, two hits and a plus-5 rating in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Shea matched his offensive output from the last 14 games combined. He helped out on goals by Anthony Mantha, Bryan Rust and Justin Brazeau in this blowout win. Shea was a top-four regular earlier in the season, but Brett Kulak's arrival via trade from the Oilers has eaten into Shea's minutes. This is still a career year for Shea, who has two goals, 14 helpers, 32 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-14 rating over 37 appearances.

Shea logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Shea helped out on Bryan Rust's go-ahead goal in the third period as well as Connor Dewar's empty-netter. This performance ended a seven-game skid for Shea, who has maintained a top-four role on defense this season even as his offense has faltered. The blueliner is up to 10 points, 21 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 22 appearances. Given his production, he may be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats, though his offense is unlikely to stay on this pace all year.

Shea recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Shea evened the score for the Penguins early in the second period with a slap shot, and he'd later participate in the build-up of the game-winning goal, courtesy of Bryan Rust, in the final frame. Shea is now up to seven points through 12 games this season and has surpassed his offensive output from the 2024-25 campaign.

Shea scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Shea snapped a three-game point drought with the goal. The 28-year-old defenseman has done a fine job filling a top-four role this year. He's up to five points, eight shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through nine appearances while averaging 20:50 of ice time. Shea has already matched his point total from a 39-game sample last season, and while he probably won't sustain his current pace, he should be able to push for 25-30 points in 2025-26.

Shea notched two assists, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Shea has earned three helpers over four games to begin the year. The 28-year-old continues to play on the second pairing alongside Kris Letang, with Shea handling more of a shutdown role. Shea has added eight blocks and a plus-2 rating, so he's getting the job done on the defensive side.

Shea recorded an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Shea ended 2024-25 in a top-four role, and that's where he started 2025-26 as well, logging 22:31 of ice time in the season opener. The 28-year-old had just five points in 39 outings last year, so he shouldn't be considered a significant scoring threat on the blue line. Shea should still be able to maintain a sizable role as long as he takes care of business in his own zone, but he offers minimal fantasy appeal since he doesn't stand out in any one area.

Shea (upper body) will be in the lineup against Buffalo on Thursday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shea will suit up for the first time since March 9 versus the Wild due to his upper-body injury. While head coach Mike Sullivan didn't specifically say who would be coming out of the lineup to make way for Shea, it seems likely that Ryan Graves will find himself relegated to the press box. For his part, Shea has notched two goals, three assists and 10 hits in 30 NHL games for the Pens while logging 16:55 of ice time.

Shea has been deemed week-to-week with an upper-body injury, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Shea received a season-high 24:18 of ice time in Sunday's 3-1 win over Minnesota, so it's unclear when he picked up the injury. As a result of his upcoming absence, Ryan Graves will draw back into the lineup Tuesday against the Golden Knights. The Penguins also recalled Sebastian Aho from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on an emergency basis Tuesday, so he could be in the mix for playing time as well while Shea is sidelined.
