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).
