Penguins Recall Paul Bissonnette
 

The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-called forward Paul Bissonnette from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League (AHL), it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero.

Bissonnette, 23, enters his third stint with Pittsburgh and has played a total of eight games with the Penguins this season. He has registered 10 penalty minutes while posting a plus or even rating in seven of his eight appearances. Bissonnette began the season with Pittsburgh, making his NHL debut on Oct. 4 against Ottawa at the NHL Premiere in Stockholm, Sweden. Bissonnette leads Wilkes-Barre/Scranton with 103 penalty minutes, while recording six points (three goals, three assists) in 22 games this season.

The 6-2, 211-pound forward split the 2007-08 season between the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins and the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL. Bissonnette tallied eight points (three goals, five assists) along with 146 penalty minutes in 46 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He also recorded 11 penalty minutes in seven playoff contests with the Penguins. Bissonnette collected 17 points (three goals, 14 assists) and 43 penalty minutes with Wheeling before being re-called to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Bissonnette was drafted by the Penguins in the fourth round (121st overall) of the 2003 NHL Draft.

Bizz-Nasty vs Asham tonight?

hell yeah. tonight just got alot better

Curious is Biz will dress. I dont think he will but he might just be up for tonights game.

I would like to see Biz and Asham drop em. Should make for a better game tonight if hes actaully dressed.

Why would they recall him and not dress him. Has this happened in the past where they call him up and not dress him that night.

Well he is dressed. And will play with Godard and Jeffrey. Cooke plays top line and Minard gets some action on line 2.

I could see it if a skater is a game time decision or something like that.

My guess is that he's been called up specifically for this game tonight. MT wanted him up the last time they played the Flyers, but Shero called up Connor James instead. The Pens are going to get raped on the scoreboard, so I hope he and Godard at least make it interesting by shedding the mitts.

It sucks that Gratton is hurt now, Biss probably could have had a 2 fight night asham/gratton.

how about alberts/biz?

This move confirms a few things.

The Pens are serious about some revenge on the Flyers.

And the zebras will be in full force, let's see if they can be worked around.

Looks Like The Penguins are getting set for the Fireworks Tommarow night,

I say, bring it on :evil:

as long as bradley doesnt fight him again..

i wouldn't get my hopes up yet caps fans, you guys can have whats left after the flyers and finished going to war with the pens
