Pittsburgh Penguins News

Bemstrom (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Bemstrom was missing from Wednesday's practice but was on the ice for Thursday's morning skate. He remains questionable to play vs. the Canadiens and is considered a game-time decision. Bemstrom played on the top line on Tuesday but failed to record a point while firing four shots on goal. He's now registered one goal, one assist and 12 shots in three games this season.

Prior to his promotion last week, the young centre in Wilkes-Barre (AHL) had four goals and nine points in 10 games while playing strong defensively with a +7 plus/minus.

Mac Hollowell has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

Hollowell has been enjoying a great start to his season with the Marlies of the AHL, collecting nine assists and a +2 plus/minus through nine games. He has yet to make his NHL debut so if he finds himself in the Maple Leafs' lineup in the upcoming days he will knock that milestone off his bucket list.
