With Evgeni Malkin sidelined for up to two months, Pittsburgh Penguins fans got their first look at Czech prospect Dominik Simon, who was recalled Saturday and will make his NHL debut Sunday against the New York Rangers.
The 21-year-old Simon, a fifth-round pick in last year's draft, has impressed in his first AHL season with 18 goals and 20 assists in 54 games for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
The team also recalled Conor Sheary, who will join Simon and veteran Eric Fehr on the team's fourth line, according to Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
