Glass notched an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.
Glass returned to the lineup in a fourth-line role Friday after being activated from injured reserve Tuesday. The 25-year-old center now has five helpers, 18 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-7 rating over 15 contests. He should be able to stick in the lineup regularly moving forward, though he may occasionally sit out for Matt Nieto or Jesse Puljujarvi.

Penguins' Cody Glass: Activated off injured reserve
Rotowire
Glass (concussion) was taken off injured reserve Tuesday.
A previous report indicated that Glass wasn't ready to play Tuesday, so while he may be medically cleared, he shouldn't be expected back in the lineup. There is plenty of competition for forward spots right now, especially after the team added Philip Tomasino from Nashville on Nov. 25. Whenever Glass does get into the lineup, he figures to slide into a bottom-six role.

Penguins' Cody Glass: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Glass (concussion) was designated as day-to-day by head coach Mike Sullivan ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Canucks, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Considering Glass was still working as an extra at Tuesday's practice, he probably should be considered doubtful to face Vancouver. Still, it's a step in the right direction for the 25-year-old center. With the Pens adding Philip Tomasino to the roster, Glass will need to stave off the likes of Jesse Puljujarvi and Valtteri Puustinen for a spot in the lineup.

Rotowire
Glass sustained an upper-body injury in Thursday's game versus the Hurricanes.
It's unclear what happened to Glass, but it's enough to keep him out for the rest of the game. The 25-year-old should be considered questionable to play Friday versus the Capitals. If he can't suit up, the Penguins may recall a forward or dress seven defensemen.

Penguins' Cody Glass: Leaves game due to illness
Rotowire
Glass (illness) won't return to Friday's game versus the Oilers.
Glass didn't play after the second period, ending with one shot on goal, one hit and a minus-1 rating over 10:40 of ice time. He has three assists through nine contests in a bottom-six role this season, but his ice time has been trending up recently. If Glass can't play Saturday in Vancouver, Valtteri Puustinen is the extra healthy forward on the Penguins' roster and would likely draw in on the fourth line.

Rotowire
Glass logged an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.

Through eight outings, he's added 13 shots on net, a minus-2 rating, five hits and four blocked shots. More ice time could help him put up stronger offense, but Glass is unlikely to score enough to be a factor in fantasy.

Penguins' Cody Glass: Pockets helper in loss
Rotowire
Glass recorded an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.
Glass has earned two helpers over seven appearances to begin his Penguins tenure. The 25-year-old forward also has 10 shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He's filling a bottom-six role and figures to do so as long as he can stay healthy, which has been a concern throughout his career.
Pittsburgh acquired Glass, a 2025 third-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round selection from Nashville on Tuesday in exchange for Jordan Frasca.
Glass accounted for 14 goals and 35 points in 72 regular-season games during the 2022-23 campaign, but he had trouble staying in the lineup in 2023-24. In 41 appearances last season, he supplied six tallies and 13 points. Glass also didn't see any action during the 2024 playoffs. The 25-year-old forward will get a fresh start in Pittsburgh. Glass will compete for a bottom-six role during training camp.

Predators' Cody Glass: Gathers pair of assists
Rotowire
Glass recorded two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Coyotes.
Glass had been a healthy scratch over the last eight games. He made a quick impact in his return to the lineup, setting up both of Jason Zucker's first-period tallies. The 24-year-old Glass has 12 points, 74 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-11 rating through 37 appearances this season. It's unclear if Thursday's effort will be enough to secure him more playing time going forward.
Glass scored three goals, including the game-winner, in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Avalanche.
The 24-year-old notched his first career hat trick with a goal in each period. Glass's six shots on net were also a season high, and while the sixth overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft is still struggling to make his mark in the NHL, he's been healthy and productive since the All-Star break, amassing four goals and seven points over the last 10 games.
