Penguins recall Blandisi from Wilkes-Barre

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Penguins have recalled forward Joseph Blandisi from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton ahead of Friday's game against the Blue Jackets in Columbus, Jim Rutherford announced after the team's morning skate.

It's not clear why a forward was needed. All forwards from last game participated in today's morning skate here. Bryan Rust left the ice for about two minutes early in the skate after falling into the boards, but was a full participant when he returned to the ice and Mike Sullivan said "he'll be fine" when asked about his status.
