It feels like forever but the Penguins begin their slow lurch back into gear with a practice today at 2pm at their Cranberry facility. Obviously Mike Sullivan, David Quinn and Sidney Crosby still have their hands full in Boston for Thursday night’s final of the 4 Nations Face-off so it will be an incomplete grouping.
Ahead of today’s re-start, the Pens made a couple of roster moves to bring back Joel Blomqvist and Emil Bemstrom from the AHL and send Tristan Jarry back to the AHL. Jarry was on the NHL roster for the last week to satisfy minimum goalie requirements for the team as they looked to get Blomqvist some more work down in Wilkes.
