Apparently, the injury to Pascal Dupuis is significant enough to warrant some help from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton:
—————————————-
From the Penguins:
The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled forward Chris Minard from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League (AHL), it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero
.
Minard, 26 leads the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins with 13 points (seven goals, six assists) in seven games this season. He is also tied for the team lead with two game-winning goals and a plus-9 rating. Minard made his NHL debut with Pittsburgh last season registering two points in 15 games, including his first career NHL goal and first NHL assist.
The 6-1, 200-pound forward has played 166 career games in the AHL over parts of five seasons with the Milwaukee Admirals, the Albany River Rats, the Lowell Devils and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. He has tallied 123 points (71 goals, 52 assists) along with 89 penalty minutes.

Glad to see Minard get called up, but I wouldn’t have been upset to see Pesonen called up as well…

Please HCMT, Please, don’t put him on the 4th line! Give the man a chance!!
I really think Minard has the capacity to be a good player. I just don’t think he’s been given a chance on a scoring line yet. He’s never going to be a 40 goal scorer, but he could definitely put 20 in the net if he played on top 3 lines.
