He suffered a lower-body injury against the LA Kings on Saturday and is out day-to-day. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response, the team recalled <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/tag\/rutger-mcgroarty\/\" class=\"pb-player-link\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rutger McGroarty<\/a> Sunday afternoon. It\u2019s not immediately clear if McGroarty would be available Sunday, but it seems unlikely given travel time to Anaheim. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This season, Koivunen, 23, has six points (2-4-6) in 15 games. McGroarty, 22, has played in two NHL games without a point, but has six goals and 12 points in nine AHL contests. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Penguins face Anaheim at the Honda Center at 8 p.m. EST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect ANAHEIM, Calif. \u2014 The Pittsburgh Penguins are losing one young player in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":523355,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,4859,199929],"class_list":["post-523354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-rutger-mcgroarty","tag-ville-koivunen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=523354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523354\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/523355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=523354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=523354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=523354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
