The Pittsburgh Penguins activated defenseman Mike Matheson from injured reserve.

Sidelined for the past eight games because of an undisclosed injury, Matheson returned to the lineup Saturday in a road game against the New York Islanders.

Limited to two games this season, the left-handed Matheson has no points.

Additionally, the Penguins recalled rookie forward Drew O’Connor from their taxi squad. In four games this season, O’Connor has one assist.

Follow the Penguins all season long.
