Penguins yank Hallander off conditioning loan

The Penguins pull Filip Hallander back from his conditioning stint in the minors, a move that signals they're testing the waters with this young forward amid a roster squeeze. Sullivan's been eyeing depth options as injuries pile up, and Hallander's speed could shake up the bottom six if he sticks. Front offices around the league watch these recalls closely, knowing one hot streak changes everything before the deadline hits.
