Penguins call up Blomqvist, send Hinostroza to minors in roster shuffling

Tristan Jarry won’t be able to play tonight, which triggered several moves to the Penguins’ roster today.

Roster updates:
• Goaltender Joel Blomqvist has been recalled from the @WBSPenguins.
• Forward Vinnie Hinostroza has been re-assigned to WBS.
• Defenseman John Ludvig has been placed on injured reserve. pic.twitter.com/vbLPBiVH5T— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) November 9, 2023

Without Jarry, the Pens needed a goalie to backup Magnus Hellberg tonight, and thus the first NHL stint for 21-year old top prospect Joel Blomqvist has arrived. Blomqvist has been playing very well so far in his first full year with Wilkes-Barre.
