PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The Pittsburgh Penguins recalled forward Garrett Wilson from their AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.
The move could have something to do with Patric Hornqvist's status after he left Friday's game early with an undisclosed injury. Penguins coach Mike Sullivan is scheduled to speak with the media Saturday evening. The 31-year-old has 15 points in 21 games this season.

The 6-foot-2, 199-pound Wilson has been serving as the captain this season when playing at the AHL level, where he has 6 goals and 5 assists in 12 games.
