Penguins' Owen Pickering: Earns helper in debut
Owen Pickering logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.While it was a fairly tame first assignment, Pickering was able to handle third-pairing duties in the absence of Kris Letang (illness). It didn't take long for Pickering to earn his first point, as he helped out on a Jesse Puljujarvi tally in the first period. Pickering won't solve all of the Pittsburgh Penguins' defensive problems, but he has a chance to make a push to stick around after failing to make the team out of camp. The 20-year-old blueliner is unlikely to be a future fantasy stud, but he's a heady player who should be a benefit in his own zone now and in future seasons for Pittsburgh.

Penguins' Owen Pickering: Called up from minors
Owen Pickering was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.Pickering's promotion could be an indication there is an injury or illness to one of the Pens' blueliners, though it might also be an attempt to see if anything can stem the flow of opposition goals considering Pittsburgh is giving up 3.83 per game (second-worst in the league). If the 6-foot-4 Pickering does get into Friday's matchup with Columbus, it figures to be in a third-pairing role -- likely at the expense of Ryan Shea.
