The Penguins have activated Ebbett from IR.

Ebbett who has been practising since Tuesday is ready to return from an ankle injury that has kept him out since December 5. He will likely head to the AHL for conditioning, but even if he works his way back into the Penguins lineup, he is unlikely going to have any fantasy impact.

Mea culpa. Vigneault said Ebbett (collarbone surgery) shouldn't have worn contact jersey in practice Thursday. May play before playoffs.

Ebbett apparently practiced with the wrong jersey and is not yet cleared for contact. He scored four goals and an assist in 14 games.
