The Penguins activated defenseman Justin Schultz from injured reserve on Friday and assigned defenseman Zach Trotman to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.
Schultz has missed the past seven games because of a suspected groin injury. He was in the lineup for Friday night’s game against the Coyotes.
Initially recalled on Nov. 21, Trotman has appeared in five games this season and has no points.
Forward Patric Hornqvist, who has missed one game with a suspected right knee injury, was placed on injured reserve. In 20 games, Hornqvist has 11 points (six goals, five assists).
Follow the Penguins all season long.
