NHL rosters see player recalls for Penguins and Rangers

The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled forward Rutger McGroarty from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League. McGroarty, a 22-year-old left-handed shot, is currently the leading scorer for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton with 12 points in nine games. This move brings the Penguins to the maximum of 23 players on their active NHL roster.

In another roster move, the New York Rangers have recalled Marc Del Gaizo from the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack. The 27-year-old defender joins the team ahead of a three-game trip across Western Canada. Del Gaizo, who serves as the captain of the Wolf Pack, provides depth for the Rangers' blue line as they manage injuries to players such as Alberts Smits and Sean Durzi.
