Hallander returned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's lineup Wednesday, Taylor Haase of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hallander was injured in early January and required hospitalization for the injury. The 22-year-old's fairly quick return to the farm team's lineup is an encouraging sign, though he's probably not in line for a promotion to the NHL in the near future. The winger has 25 points through 26 games, ranking fourth in scoring for the Baby Pens despite his nearly month-long absence.

Hallander (lower body) has been sent to the AHL, according to Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com.
EDGE Analysis
Hallander was originally projected to be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game versus Toronto, but it seems now that he's healthy he's being sent to the minors instead. Teddy Blueger (upper body) is being taken off the injured reserve list, so that might be the reason why Hallander was reassigned. Hallander has no points in two games with Pittsburgh in 2022-23.

If Hallander is cleared to play, he should challenge Kasperi Kapanen, who was a healthy scratch for two games before Hallander's illness, for a spot in the lineup.
