With the end of the NHL's regular season comes the end of the salary cap and recall limits, and the Penguins have already made their first move.
The Penguins on Saturday recalled forward Drew O'Connor from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

O'Connor appeared in 22 games for the Penguins in the regular season in a bottom-six role, scoring three goals and two assists.
