In the wake of a lower-body injury to Jeff Carter, the Penguins have recalled forward Drew O’Connor from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
The 6’3” 200-pounder, who can play left wing and center, will likely be slotted in Carter’s spot between Danton Heinen and Kasperi Kapanen on the third line.
O’Connor’s averaged nearly a point per game with the Baby Pens, tallying 57 points in 60 career AHL games. This season he’s recorded two goals and six points in eight games.
With the Pens? The 24-year-old’s notched three goals and six points in 32 games spread over two seasons, including a two-goal game against Toronto.
Drake Caggiula was assigned to the Baby Pens in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old left wing had five hits and was a minus-1 in three games while seeing limited duty on the fourth line.
