Harkins clears waivers, Zohorna called up; Pens dodge injury bullet on Acciari and Letang

Jansen Harkins has cleared waivers according to the daily update. Harkins, who came to Pittsburgh on waivers earlier this month, found no takers this time around.

With Harkins on waivers and leaving the Pens’ NHL roster one way (to another NHL team) or another (down to Wilkes-Barre to clear necessary salary cap space), Pittsburgh practiced with 11 forwards today, with Mike Sullivan expecting a roster move upcoming to fill out the team.

The Penguins are practicing one forward short with Harkins placed on waivers yesterday. Here are the lines and D-pairs:

Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
Smith-Malkin-Rakell
O’Connor-Eller-Nieto
(Butcher)-Acciari-Carter

Graves-Letang
Pettersson-Karlsson
Shea-Ruhwedel

However, that they had 11 forwards to practice was a good thing.
