The Penguins recalled Sam Poulin on an emergency basis head of tonight's season finale against the Capitals.
The Penguins had only practiced with 11 healthy forwards the last two days as Kevin Hayes was sidelined and day-to-day with an injury. Mike Sullivan officially labeled Hayes a "game-time decision," but the fact that Hayes didn't take part in the optional morning skate didn't seem to be a two sign. Sullivan did say that if Hayes wasn't available, dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen, with both Filip Kral and Vladislav Kolyachonok drawing in with Kris Letang out seeming likely.
With the recall of Poulin, the Penguins will presumably have 12 forwards to dress now, barring other unknown injuries/illnesses.
