Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Ryan Graves was activated from injured reserve Monday afternoon. He has missed the past four games due to an undisclosed malady.
During a morning skate in Cranberry earlier in the day, Graves operated in a full capacity with no restrictions on contact.
Graves has split the 2025-26 season between the NHL and American Hockey League levels.
In 19 NHL contests, he has one goal while averaging 15:29 of ice time, primarily skating on the bottom pairing.
With Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL, the left-handed Graves has largely been deployed on the top pairing. In 13 AHL games, he has nine points (two goals, seven assists).
