Dumoulin was injured in Sunday’s win vs. the Capitals and was listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game. He took part in the morning skate and said that he is ready to play tonight. Dumoulin has no goals and 16 assists in 72 games this season.

Dumoulin, 23, had one goal in eight games with the Penguins this season. Pittsburgh has been forced to play with five defensemen recently because of cap issues, but with the absence of the salary cap in the playoffs allows the Penguins to recall Dumoulin for the postseason. Dumoulin scored four goals with 29 assists (33 points) in 62 games with WBS.

Dumoulin was sent down yesterday, but his recall today suggests that Paul Martin is not ready to return and that Kris Letang will likely be unavailable for tonight with a lower-body injury.
