The Penguins have recalled defenseman Taylor Fedun from their farm team in Wilkes-Barre.
It was not immediately clear whether Fedun will be in the lineup when the Penguins face the Flyers tonight a 7:08 p.m. at PPG Paints Arena or if he was summoned as insurance in case it is determined that Kris Letang, who had been in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol until Monday, isn't ready to return against Philadelphia.
The Penguins have three other defensemen -- Brian Dumoulin, Marcus Pettersson and Chad Ruhwedel -- in the COVID-19 protocol, along with No. 1 center Sidney Crosby.
Fedun, 33, has three assists in seven games with Wilkes-Barre this season, his first in the organization.
He is 6 foot 1, 200 pounds and has appeared in 127 NHL games with the Oilers, Sharks, Canucks, Sabres and Stars, putting up eight goals and 27 assists.
