Penguins' Ryan Graves: Called up Tuesday

Graves was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Graves was called up while Owen Pickering was sent down to the minor-league team in a corresponding move. With injuries stacking up around the Penguins' roster, it appears they want to take a more veteran approach to their lineup for a while. Graves will contend for third-pairing minutes in the NHL while Pickering takes on a large role on the farm.
