The Penguins recalled forward Kasper Bjorkqvist from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL) on Wednesday.
A rookie, Bjorkqvist has appeared in six NHL games this season and has one goal. Additionally, he has played in 33 AHL contests and has scored six points (four goals, two assists).
Signed to a one-year, two-way contract that carries a salary cap hit of $750,000, Bjorkqvist has been recalled to the NHL level on two previous occasions this season, including in January when he made his NHL debut.
Bjorkqvist, 24, was a second-round pick (No. 61 overall) in 2016.
