The Penguins have announced that Noel Acciari and Justin Brazeau have been activated from Injured Reserve, and they've also called up two players from the American Hockey League affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are in Dallas to play the Dallas Stars tonight, but before the game, they announced that forward Evgeni Malkin would be unavailable to play because of an upper-body injury and that he's considered day to day.
Not long after that, the Penguins announced a series of roster moves. They announced that forwards Justin Brazeau and Noel Acciari have both been activated from Injured Reserve.
They also added that both Jack St. Ivany and Harrison Brunicke have been recalled from their conditioning loans with the American Hockey League affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Finally, forward Boko Imama has been re-assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton not long after he was called up to the Penguins.

Noel Acciari And Justin Brazeau Have Missed Multiple Games This Season
Acciari hasn't been able to play since early November when he was hurt in a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and was soon placed on Injured Reserve.
So far this year, he has three assists in 13 games played.
Brazeau hasn't played since October, and was also on Injured Resreve for multiple weeks.
His injury halted a great start to the season, as he had 12 points (6G, 6A) in 12 games played.
