Well, that didn’t last long.
The Penguins are now off until Thursday, at which time it’s widely believed that both Pascal Dupuis and Ruslan Fedotenko will be able to play against the Edmonton Oilers.
As a result, the Pens have reassigned Chris Menard and Janne Pesonen back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

From the Penguins:
The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-assigned forwards Chris Minard and Janne Pesonen to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League (AHL), it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero.

Prior to his recall, the 26-year old led the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins with 13 points (seven goals, six assists) in seven games.
