Bemstrom was promoted from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bemstrom has logged 13 games for the Penguins this season, generating just one assist, 12 shots and 10 hits while averaging a career-low 8:20 of ice time. The addition of Bemstrom, along with fellow forwards Vasily Ponomarev and Valtteri Puustinen, under emergency conditions likely means that at least Rutger McGroarty (lower body) and possibly others won't be in the lineup against the Devils on Friday.
