Ron Hextall said following Monday's trade deadline that newly-acquired forward Rickard Rakell would "hopefully" be in Pittsburgh Tuesday and able to play in the Penguins' 7:08 p.m. game against the Blue Jackets.
Rakell's flight touched down in Pittsburgh this morning, and per Mike Sullivan, Rakell will make his Penguins debut Tuesday night.
The Penguins had an optional skate, so there were no line rushes to use as clues for potential combinations for tonight. Sullivan didn't disclose where Rakell will play, either.
