Penguins' Marcus Pettersson: Taken off injured reserve

Pettersson (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve Tuesday ahead of a matchup with Washington, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

Officially a game-time decision, it seems unlikely the Penguins would remove Pettersson from injured reserve only to have him sit. In the past, the youngster has paired up with John Marino but could find himself instead playing with Cody Ceci on Tuesday in order to limit his minutes.
