Following a 3-2 road loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, the Pittsburgh Penguins assigned forwards Emil Bemstrom and Vasily Ponomarev as well as goaltender Joel Blomqvist to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.

Tristan Jarry is back on the Pittsburgh Penguins’ roster. Whether he’ll still be there the next time they play a game, which will be Feb. 22 against Washington at PPG Paints Arena, remains to be seen.

With the 4 Nations Face-off about to come to a close on Thursday when Team USA and Team Canada square off for a rematch in the championship game, the Pittsburgh Penguins decided to get ahead of their return-to-play following the break.

The Pittsburgh Penguins recalled forward Emil Bemstrom and rookie goaltender Joel Blomqvist from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Tuesday. In a corresponding transaction, goaltender Tristan Jarry was assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that they’ve recalled veteran goaltender Tristan Jarry from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and assigned three players to the AHL.

As expected, Tristan Jarry’s return to the NHL roster was merely to create space at the AHL level so netminder Joel Blomqvist could play games for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and remain sharp for the resumption of the NHL’s regular season this weekend.
