Petry logged an assist, four shots, and three hits in Sunday's 2-1 loss to New Jersey.
Petry assisted on Sidney Crosby's goal in the first period, Pittsburgh's lone tally in the contest. The 35-year-old Petry has helpers in consecutive games since returning from a 16-game IR stint. He'll serve as a decent streaming option on the Penguins top pairing and power-play unit while Kris Letang (lower body) is sidelined. Petry has three goals and 11 assists to go with 98 hits and 57 blocked shots through 30 games in his first season with Pittsburgh.

Penguins' Jeff Petry: Traveling with team
Rotowire
Petry (upper body) will make the trip to Ottawa for Wednesday's matchup, Pens Inside Scoop reports.
Petry has been out of action for the Pens' last 15 games, so he can be activated off LTIR at any point now. The defenseman did practice in a regular sweater Tuesday, clearing another hurdle for his return to action. Pittsburgh could certainly use Petry right now with both Kris Letang (lower body) and Jan Rutta (upper body) unavailable versus the Sens. If Petry does play Wednesday, he could get a look with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Petry (upper body) traveled with the Penguins for their two-game road trip, Pens Inside Scoop reports Wednesday.

Penguins' Jeff Petry: Traded to Penguins
Rotowire
Montreal traded Petry and Ryan Poehling to the Penguins in exchange for Mike Matheson and a 2023 fourth-round pick, PuckPedia reports.
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.
