The Pittsburgh Penguins will recall forward Chris Conner from Wilkes Barre/Scranton. Conner leads the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Penguins with 8 points in 6 games and was in the running for the Penguins 13th forward spot in training camp.
Conner has been Wilkes Barre's top forward this season and will play against Columbus Friday night.
Pittsburgh is also expected to recall Mark Letestu for the teams West Coast trip next week. Letestu who plays center, has 5 points in 4 games and recorded 61 points in 73 games last season for Wilkes Barre/Scranton
I'm told the reason Letestu will get the call-up over Jeffrey is because of how well Jeffrey is playing. Pittsburgh doesn't want to mess with that momentum, just for a short call-up.
The same for Luca Caputi who is playing very well.
