Penguins' Vasily Ponomarev: Up from minors

Ponomarev was summoned from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

Ponomarev has 11 goals and 27 points in 31 AHL outings this season. He's also appeared in three games with Pittsburgh, recording no points, four shots, one hit and one block. Ponomarev might draw into the lineup Saturday due to the absence of Bryan Rust (lower body), who moved to injured reserve in a corresponding move.
