I would rather see them use Engelland as a 4th line winger with 7 defense options already available if he's converted to wing if they need an extra body, the need for Ebbett seems pointless.

Ebbett is a natural C. Currently we have Malkin, Goc, Vitale and probably/likely Jokinen out. Doesn't seem that far fetched to have Ebbett up for cover.

I find it hard to kill over Bylsma/Shero over that one.

if Jussi is banged up, this makes plenty of sense.

Haven't heard any news on whether JJ is injured. Really hope it's not the case. Would not be good if the playoffs are similar to 2010-2011 where half the starters were hurt and the Penguins were bounced in the first round.

Molinari says it's both Jokinen and Bennett.

until I hear otherwise, I'm going to assume this is a "just in case" call-up that hopefully won't matter at all. Not that I have any reason to think positively about our roster decisions, but I'm going to anyway.

Maybe Ebbett is a killer lacrosse player and they needed his skills yesterday.

Pretty sure Molinari was just talking about what was seen in the game, not what anyone on the team said. But it looks like it's Jokinen who's sitting.

No issue with people getting a night off if they are less than 100% at this point. Hell, I don't have an issue with Jussi taking a night off in general.

The last few regular season games are meaningless.. I don't care if Adams Pyatt and Glass are the top line for these games... rest anyone with any bumps and bruises and get healthy for the playoffs... non issue as far as I am concerned... as long as he finds the bench for the playoffs Im cool with this

I think I'd rather see Megna, Gibbons, Despres et al. get more time in meaningless games than Gladams. You know they're not going to see it in the playoffs.

he was on a 13 game point streak in the ahl fwiw

Pittsburgh Penguins @penguins

The #Pens have re-assigned forward Andrew Ebbett to @WBSPenguins. More: pens.pe/1i1fGg0

 

[Will Hunting]

That should probably mean that Crosby & Kunitz are back.

I thought that Andrew Ebbett played well during his call-up.
