The Penguins consolidated from three groups of players down to two today at practice. They can still choose to push and pull players from one group to another, but for now there is one pool of mostly AHL players and another pool that will be the NHL group.
The NHL group is being thinned out lately, however. Jeff Carter, injured in a scrimmage on Saturday is officially day-to-day and was said to be “progressing” by coach Mike Sullivan, but has not been seen on the ice in several days. Kasperi Kapanen, has remained on the sidelines with an illness.
