The Penguins have recalled winger Avery Hayes from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and goaltender Taylor Gauthier from ECHL Wheeling, with Gauthier serving as backup to Arturs Silovs against the Panthers due to Stuart Skinner‘s upper-body injury. Skinner’s absence is notable as he was expected to start, leaving Silovs to handle back-to-back games after a challenging outing yesterday. Gauthier, a standout in the ECHL with a .932 SV% this season, is now the emergency backup, while the Penguins maintain a strong playoff position. Hayes, who had been a scratch in the previous game, has three goals in 13 NHL games this season.
