What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhat a day to be in America!

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwo recalls today, and neither one involves a toaster. The Penguins have recalled forward Justin Brazeau from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pro Hockey Rumors reports.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe played two games on a conditioning loan, with one assist and one shot on net, so he's returned fully inspected and ready to ship.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd a spot opened because they sent Rutger McGroarty down on Sunday. Is that the swap or the trade-in?

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call it a roster-balancing exchange, and Pittsburgh is five and seven and two, so the customer satisfaction survey is still open.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhether he plays Tuesday against Vegas is unclear, according to CBS Sports.
