Ryan Graves Injury: Placed on injured reserve

Graves (lower body) was put on injured reserve Thursday.

The Penguins' announcement didn't specify the nature of Graves' injury, but he's dealing with a lower-body issue, according to Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site. Graves has a goal, eight PIM, 15 hits and 35 blocks in 19 outings in 2025-26. Erik Karlsson (lower body) was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. Graves played in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Calgary, so putting him on IR means that he isn't eligible to play Thursday in Edmonton or Sunday in Vancouver.
