CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins recalled forwards Anthony Angello and Andrew Agozzino from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday, Jim Rutherford announced.
This is the first NHL call up for 23-year-old Angello, the Penguins' fifth-round pick in 2014. Angello currently leads Wilkes-Barre in goals (16) and ranks fifth in points (25) in 45 games.
The second-year pro has already matched his goal total from his rookie season last year in 20 fewer games.
Angello, 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, plays a physical game:
When I spoke to Angello last month, he believed it was those other elements of his game that would help him get to this level.
