The Penguins yesterday activated defenseman P.O. Joseph from the covid list and assigned him to Wilkes Barre-Scranton. He had been recalled last week to the Pens’ practice squad but tested positive upon his arrival in Pittsburgh.
The Penguins beat San Jose, 8-5, on Sunday, with both Jake Guentzel and Bryan Rust returning from the injury list and taking their spots on the top line with Sidney Crosby. Coach Mike Sullivan says the line has great chemistry, with Rust’s speed and intensity a great compliment to Guentzel and Crosby.
The long-awaited arrival of top prospect Kasper Bjorkqvist Sunday was a welcome sight for Sullivan and the Penguins. He scored his first NHL goal in the win. Sullivan says Bjorkqvist has had a tough run of injuries in his career and is finally healthy, and getting used to the fast-paced NHL game.
The Penguins had the day off yesterday and will return to the ice today in Cranberry to prepare for tomorrow night’s game against the Blues.
