Adams (undisclosed) was activated from IR on Wednesday, signaling he'll be available for the Penguins' game later in the evening versus the Hurricanes. He'll be one of the three players making their return to action, as Beau Bennett (knee) and Christian Ehrhoff (lower body) were also activated Wednesday. Adams doesn't have as much fantasy utility as either of those players, but his toughness on the fourth line makes him a valuable cog in real-life terms.
