Joseph has not played since November 4th, recovering from a lower-body injury, and has only played five total games this season. As a result, he has been reassigned to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL for a conditioning stint and will presumably be recalled in the near future.
Joseph has not played since November 4th due to a lower-body injury but appears to be on the verge of a return to the lineup after being a full participant at the Penguins' practice on Wednesday. Before his injury, Joseph had one point (0G / 1A) in five games, averaging 13:05 time-on-ice, playing predominantly with Chad Ruhwedel on the Penguins' third defensive pairing.
Joseph has been a healthy scratch for the previous three games but will draw back into the Penguins lineup Tuesday vs. Montreal. The 23-year-old has four goals, 17 points, 84 SOG, 38 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 59 games played this season.
Joseph has not played in the last two games for Pittsburgh after leaving their game last week vs. Washinton due to a lower-body injury after playing just 6:41 TOI. He is a game-time decision Tuesday and will make a welcome addition to the lineup as he has four assists through 12 games with a +5 plus/minus rating and six PIMs while averaging 14:09 ATOI.
Joseph was selected No.23 overall in 2017 and is coming off of a 47-point (9G / 38A) campaign in the QMJHL. The 19-year-old has good size (6-foot-2, 168 lbs), terrific mobility and puck skills that should make him a point-producer in the NHL in the near future. With veterans clogging up the Penguins’ blueline, Joseph is likely headed to the AHL to start the 2019-20 season.
