Pearson will make his Vancouver debut in Wednesday's road game against Colorado, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pearson was acquired from Pittsburgh right at the trade deadline buzzer Monday, and wasn't able to suit up in the game that day. The 26-year-old has 15 points in 61 games this campaign. Pearson will suit up on the second line with Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser and is expected to get power-play time on the second unit.

Pearson was traded for by Vancouver from Pittsburgh on Monday in exchange for Erik Gudbranson, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pearson was expected to be the answer for the Pens as a scoring threat on Evgeni Malkin's left wing, but the 26-year-old's continues offensive struggles, 14 points in 44 games, led to him dropping to a fourth-line role and being scratched twice. Without a clear spot in the lineup, general manager Jim Rutherford opted to bolster defensive depth after injuries to Brian Dumoulin (concussion) and Kris Letang (upper body) with the addition of Gudbranson. In Vancouver, Pearson could slot in anywhere for the first to fourth lines.

Pearson saw just 9:03 of ice time against the Flyers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Pearson's dip in minutes shouldn't come as a surprise considering he is struggling to produce. The winger has just two points in his last 12 outings and finds himself dropped to a third-line role following the addition of Nick Bjugstad. If the 26-year-old can't get his offensive game going soon, he could slide even further down the depth chart once Zach Aston-Reese (undisclosed) is activated off injured reserve.

Pearson is struggling to produce offensively, as he is stuck in a four-game pointless streak.
EDGE Analysis
After bursting onto the scene following his trade from Anaheim, Pearson has cooled off significantly, as he has just two points in his previous 14 contests. The winger's slump has seen him bumped from Evgeni Malkin's line, though he still finds himself playing alongside Phil Kessel. If he can start finding ways to distribute the puck to the Pens' all-star talents, he should be capable of racking up the assists.

Pearson found the back of the net versus the Stars on Wednesday and has goals in back-to-back games with the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
In just four games since joining the club, Pearson has already managed to produce more than he did in 17 games for Los Angeles this season. It would appear the change of coasts is serving the winger well -- not to mention getting slotted into a top-six role alongside Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel.

Pearson's move to Pittsburgh in exchange for Carl Hagelin has officially gone through, the team announced Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pearson could get a look on the top line with Sidney Crosby or he could replace Hagelin straight up on Malkin's line. The 26-year-old winger has managed just one helper in 17 games this season and is still looking for his first goal of the 2018-19 campaign. The Ontario native did hit the 20-goal mark back in 2016-17 and could do so again playing with some of the Penguins' top stars.

Pearson, reportedly, was acquired by the Penguins on Monday, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
EDGE Analysis
Pearson will bolster Pittsburgh's left-wing depth which has been lacking of late -- other than Jake Guentzel -- and should provide an additional depth scoring option. The Ontario native has yet to tally a goal this season and has just one assist in 17 games, which likely explains why the Kings were willing to offload him. While he may not start there, Pearson could see time playing on the top line with Sidney Crosby, which would certainly give him significant fantasy value as long as he remained in that role. Considering his $3.75 million cap hit, Los Angeles almost certainly had to retain some of his salary.

Pearson helped out on Tyler Toffoli's game-tying goal in the second period of a 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Pearson seems to have picked up right where he left off a year ago by getting on the score sheet with a helper. That was the source of 62.5 percent of his points last year in a 40-point season, and so far, he's off to a similar start in 2018-19.
