With Wilkes-Barre’s AHL season wrapping up over the weekend, the Penguins called up four players to the NHL today. From the team:
The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled forwards Anthony Angello, Kasper Bjorkqvist, Drew O’Connor and defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League, it was announced today by general manager Ron Hextall.
None of the four will be expected to appear in games, but be a part of the practice squad. Now the Penguins have 20 forwards on the roster, 11 defensemen and 5 goalies, which is similar to what their opponents in the Islanders are carrying right now (22F, 12D, 4G).
