Chirps from Center Ice

Pittsburgh announced they have returned Forward Dustin Jeffrey to Wilkes-Barre / Scranton today.

I assume this is for two reasons 1) salary cap and 2) Pittsburgh doesn’t skate again until Monday, home vs. Phoenix. Wilkes-Barre has two games this weekend. So keep Dustin sharp and call him back up Sunday if you need to. After Saturday Wilkes-Barre doesn’t play again until December 26 home vs. the Albany Devils.

Plus, Jeffrrey is on a two-way contract so he doesn’t have to clear waivers. We’ll have to watch the reports out of Pittsburgh to see how healthy the guys ahead of Dustin get between now and Monday to speculate whether he goes back up Sunday.

Let’s Go Pens!
