Penguins Make Roster Moves Ahead of Upcoming Games

The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced key roster changes as they prepare for their next matchup. The team has recalled forward Tristan Broz and defenseman Ryan Graves from their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

Tristan Broz’s Second Chance

Broz, who made his NHL debut earlier this season during a game against the Buffalo Sabres, is set to join the Penguins for another opportunity. In his first game, he recorded two shots and logged 11:30 of ice time. This season in the AHL, Broz has shown strong performance, tallying 11 goals, 13 assists, and 24 points over 33 games.

Ryan Graves Aims to Make an Impact

Defender Ryan Graves has played 17 games with Pittsburgh this season, contributing one goal but holding a minus-4 rating. In the AHL, he has found more success with two goals and seven assists in 13 games. The 6-foot-5 veteran will look to leverage this call-up to solidify his role on the NHL roster.

Rafael Harvey-Pinard Returned to AHL

Forward Rafael Harvey-Pinard, who was recently called up to the Penguins, has been reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton without making his NHL debut. During his time in the AHL this season, he has scored seven goals and added six assists in 32 games.

These roster adjustments come as the Penguins look to optimize their lineup and strengthen their performance on the ice.
