Alex Nylander was at his apartment in Wilkes-Barre on Friday taking his pregame nap.
He was resting after a whirlwind few days -- he was recalled to Pittsburgh on Tuesday morning after Mikael Granlund's illness and the birth of Bryan Rust's son left the Penguins short at forward. He made his Penguins debut that night against Columbus, a debut that was a success by all accounts. He stuck around for practice on Wednesday and the Penguins' morning skate on Thursday, but was sent back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton before the Penguins' game against the Islanders on Thursday.
