TORONTO — The Penguins on Saturday morning announced they had recalled forward Kevin Porter and goaltender Tristan Jarry from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, an indication they could rest a few players against the Maple Leafs or Sunday against the Rangers.
Coach Mike Sullivan said following Friday’s practice that the team had come up with a plan for resting players but didn’t divulge any more than that.
Porter ranks tied for second in scoring with Wilkes-Barre with 46 points (11 goals). Jarry is 28-15-2 with a 2.15 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage.
It’s possible Porter is seen as a fill-in for the 40-year-old Matt Cullen.
