Pettersson has not played since suffering a lower-body injury on December 14th, missing six straight games, but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 28-year-old Pettersson has been a steadying force on the blueline for a Penguins club that has struggled defensively at times. He is averaging 21:47 time-on-ice, recording 13 points (2G / 11A), 56 blocks, and 36 hits in 32 games.
Shesterkin will be placed on IR with an upper-body injury.
Shesterkin was between the pipes for the entirety of Monday's 5-3 loss to the Florida Panthers but was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury. A byproduct of poor team play, Shesterkin has struggled this season, posting an uncharacteristic 3.10 GAA and .906 SV% in 27 games (11-15-1). The 29-year-old Shesterkin will be sidelined until at least January 5th.
