The Penguins are cutting it pretty close when it comes to the salary cap.
They have just $72,819 in projected cap space, not even close to enough to afford a recall. That's with 13 forwards, six defensemen and two goaltenders on the roster, plus Kris Letang.
Things got interesting in Monday's practice with Ryan Poehling sidelined day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, and Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Casey DeSmith all missing practice due to illness.
