Penguins' Filip Kral: Joining NHL roster

Kral was promoted from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Kral hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2022-23 when he was with Toronto. In that season, he registered two hits, one blocked shot and one shot on goal in two games while averaging 9:58 of ice time. Kral's promotion could be an indication that there is another injury on the blue line ahead of Thursday's season finale versus the Capitals.
