Penguins Call Up Rutger McGroarty, Potential Injury Replacements for Crosby and Malkin

The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled rookie winger Rutger McGroarty from their AHL affiliate, Wilkes-Barre Scranton. The 21-year-old has shown promise with five points in 20 NHL games this season. This move comes as captain Sidney Crosby and forward Evgeni Malkin face potential injury issues. Crosby left Thursdays game with a lower-body injury, while Malkin has missed the last two games with an upper-body problem. Despite some rough patches, rookie Ville Koivunen maintains his spot on the team. Coach Dan Muse is set to provide updates on Crosby and Malkins status at three p.m. today. McGroarty could see significant playing time if the stars remain sidelined.
