Pittsburgh Penguins Recall D Simon Despres, Martin Out?

Found January 10, 2012 on Rant Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Simon Despres,  Paul Martin
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Penguins,  Ottawa Senators

68
With defenseman Paul Martin‘s game status questionable due to an illness,  the Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled rookie blueliner Simon Despres from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for at least tonight’s game against the Ottawa Senators. The 20-year-old has one goal and three assists in 13 NHL games this season, and has turned in a solid performance literally every time he’s suited up for Pittsburgh. Some may argue the Penguins are better off with Despres in the lineup rather than even a healthy Martin, and I wouldn’t argue against that. Check out my article from earlier today for a few more Penguins updates. Game time is 7:08 PM. Follow Troy on Twitter @TroyPfaff
