WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Tom Sestito was joking when he laid out what he thought the reasoning was for his call-up to the Penguins.
“I thought maybe it was for goal-scoring that they wanted me up here,” he said with a grin Wednesday.
Well, he was either joking, or the Penguins need to seriously evaluate their communication procedures.
In reality, Sestito will bring an element of physicality in what could be a chippy game Wednesday against the Jets.
Sestito was one of two players the Penguins called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, the other being defenseman Cameron Gaunce.
