Anticipating the return of forwards Eric Fehr and Carl Hagelin, the Penguins sent Conor Sheary to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton following practice yesterday.
Fehr has missed the past 17 games with a lower-body injury sustained against Ottawa on February 2. The Pens were 9-7-1 during the big forward’s absence.
Hagelin absorbed a hard hit during the first period of last Saturday’s contest with Calgary. Although he passed the NHL’s concussion protocol, the speedy Swede was held out of the last two games as a precaution.
Beau Bennett, recovering from a shoulder injury, is skating with the team, too.
