Penguins Make Emergency Recalls

In the wake of injuries to defenseman Ryan Shea (upper-body) and newly acquired forward Thomas Novak (lower-body), the Penguins have recalled a pair of veterans, forward Matt Nieto and defenseman Sebastian Aho (pictured), on an emergency basis.

Shea is expected to be out week-to-week, while Novak is listed as day-to-day.

Defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph (upper body) will be out longer term as well.

Nieto, waived on February 26, had three points (1+2) in 31 games this season for the Pens. Likewise, he has a goal and three points in eight games with the Baby Pens.
