Joseph Blandisi is on the move again.

A day after being recalled under emergency conditions, the Penguins forward was assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.

With forward Evgeni Malkin sidelined, Blandisi was summoned to play in Thursday’s 1-0 overtime win against the rival Columbus Blue Jackets at PPG Paints Arena. Primarily used on the fourth line, Blandisi logged 9:04 of ice time on 11 shifts and had one shot. He was 0 for 2 (0 percent) on faceoffs.

This season, Blandisi has played in 12 NHL games and has three points (one goal, two assists). In 12 AHL games, he has seven points (three goals, four assists).

Follow the Penguins all season long.
