The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled forward Tom Sestito from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford.

Defenseman Chad Ruhwedel has been re-assigned to WBS.

The Penguins, who are riding a season-high seven-game overall point streak (6-0-1), look to extend their home point streak to eight-straight contests when they host the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night at 7:00 PM at PPG Paints Arena. That game will be televised on ROOT SPORTS.
