2016-03-25 analysis It was a big night for Edmonton's ex-Ducks -- Patrick Maroon notched three points and Clendening (who was briefly part of the Anaheim organization earlier this year) picked up only his fifth and sixth points in 27 NHL games this year. The 23-year-old blueliner doesn't provide much in the fantasy realm, as his general lack of offense is complemented by only a smattering of production in PIM and blo

2016-01-16 analysis At 23 years old, Clendening is an inexperienced blueliner learning the nuances of a tough position.

Clendening adds some extra insurance at the rearguard position. At 23 years old, Clendening is an inexperienced blueliner learning the nuances of a tough position.

2015-12-20 analysis His ice time (13:33 TOI) was the lowest among all Pittsburgh blueliners.

2015-11-18 analysis The blueliner served as a healthy scratch for the last month but played well in his first opportunity since Oct. 15. With fellow defender Olli Maatta likely on the shelf for a while, Clendening could work his way into regular playing time.
2015-11-18 update Clendening suited up for just his second game of the season Tuesday and earned an assist against the Wild.

2015-09-30 analysis He hasn't played particularly poorly in his own end, something a number of blueliners in Pittsburgh can't say thus far in camp. Clendening has shown he can move the puck -- a key attribute in the Pens' system -- and for that reason he could stick around for Opening Night.
