The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled forward Tom Sestito from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford.

Josh Archibald was re-assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Sestito, 28, has played in 32 AHL games with WBS this season, tallying three goals, six assists, nine points and 55 penalty minutes. He had one assist and was plus-1 in his last appearance with WBS, a 3-0 victory on Friday at Lehigh Valley.

The 6-foot-5, 228-pound Sestito was signed by the Penguins to a one-year, two-way NHL contract on Feb. 1 after playing the first half of the season on an AHL deal. Sestito attended Pittsburgh’s training camp in September on a professional tryout contract and played three NHL preseason games for the Penguins.
