The Penguins are recalling Ville Koivunen, a move made in part due to uncertainty surrounding Evgeni Malkin's likely suspension.
Koivunen has split this season so far between the NHL and AHL, with two goals and three assists in 27 NHL games, and 11 goals and 22 assists in 28 AHL games. He was recently named the AHL player of the month for the month of February.
Kyle Dubas noted that had Tristan Broz not been injured last week, he likely would have been recalled this week.
