Fedun was called up by the Penguins under emergency conditions Monday.
Fedun's promotion comes as Marcus Pettersson (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move. With several blueliners banged up, Fedun looks set to play in an NHL game for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign when he was with the Stars.

Penguins' Taylor Fedun: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Fedun was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
Fedun's promotion is likely an indication that Kris Letang (personal) will not be available for Friday's matchup with Winnipeg though that hasn't been officially confirmed. Even with his promotion, Fedun shouldn't be expected to get into the lineup and figures to serve as an emergency depth option.

Penguins' Taylor Fedun: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Fedun (undisclosed) was designated for waivers by the Penguins on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Fedun was almost certainly going to start the year in the minors for Pittsburgh after signing a two-way deal with the club back in May. An undisclosed injury during training camp certainly didn't bolster the defenseman's long-shot chances. At this point, Fedun will likely serve as an extension of the coaching staff with the Baby Pens and figures to be hard-pressed to earn an NHL call-up.

Penguins' Taylor Fedun: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Fedun was labeled day-to-day due to his lingering undisclosed injury, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports Monday.
Fedun had little chance of making the Opening Night roster unless there was an injury on the blue line or Pierre-Olivier Joseph or Ty Smith struggled during training camp. At this point, Fedun shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value even if he were to make the team.

Penguins' Taylor Fedun: Inks two-year pact
Rotowire
Fedun signed a two-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Fedun hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2019-20 when he was with the Stars, instead spending the past two years playing in the minors. With AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season, the blueliner registered five goals and 11 assists in 44 games. With the departure of Juuse Riikola, the 33-year-old Fedun could be in line for the occasional call-up this upcoming season but is unlikely to be a full-time NHL option.

Penguins' Taylor Fedun: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Fedun was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
With a trio of blueliners in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols, the Penguins added Fedun to provide some emergency depth ahead of Thursday's clash with the Flyers. Whether Fedun plays will depend on the availability of Kris Letang (not injury related), who is working his way back from a positive COVID-19 test of his own. In eight minor-league contests for the Baby Pens, the 33-year-old Fedun has generated three assists, two PIM and a plus-4 rating.

Pittsburgh placed Fedun on waivers Friday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.

Penguins' Taylor Fedun: Gets one-year deal with Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Fedun signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Penguins on Wednesday.
Fedun has produced 20 points in 81 contests with the Stars over the last two seasons while adding 77 blocked shots in that span. The 33-year-old defenseman is no lock for the Opening Night roster in Pittsburgh, but he has shown to be a solid bottom-pairing option when called upon. That won't give him much appeal in fantasy, however.
