D'Orio agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Swedish club IF Bjorkloven on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
D'Orio split last season between the AHL and ECHL with the Penguins organization. Since leaving juniors after the 2018-19 campaign, the 23-year-old netminder was not able to earn a promotion to the big club and will now head overseas to extend his professional career.

D'Orio has been promoted from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Casey DeSmith (lower body) and Tristan Jarry (foot) are both dealing with injuries, so D'Orio will presumably be on hand as an insurance policy for Thursday's Game 2 against the Rangers. D'Orio's gone 7-10-5 while posting a 2.91 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 22 AHL appearances this season.

D'Orio was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
D'Orio will likely be Pittsburgh's emergency third-string goalie for Sunday's Game 1 against the Islanders behind Tristan Jarry and Max Lagace, as Casey DeSmith (lower body) hasn't been skating and is expected to miss the series opener as a result.

D'Orio was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
D'Orio was up as an emergency option for the final game of the season, as both Tristan Jarry (rest) and Casey DeSmith (lower body) were unavailable. Now that Jarry is cleared to play for Game 1 against the Islanders on Sunday, D'Orio will rejoin the Baby Pens and figures to be the starter versus AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

D'Orio was called up by the Penguins on Friday under emergency conditions.
EDGE Analysis
With both Tristan Jarry (upper body) and Casey DeSmith (lower body) dealing with injuries, the Penguins needed to add an extra netminder ahead of Saturday's finale against Buffalo. Max Lagace is the most likely candidate to secure the starting nod versus the Sabres, though any of Pittsburgh's three healthy goalies could be an option.
