The Penguins demoted forward Ryan Craig (above) and defenseman Brian Strait to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL.

Craig has appeared in six NHL games this season. He failed to record a point and was a minus-3. In 49 AHL games this season, Craig scored 33 points (13 goals, 20 assists).

Strait made his NHL debut last night against the Capitals. He had 13:02 of playing time on 14 shifts and failed to record a point. In 54 AHL games this season, he has eight points (two goals, six assists).

I thought Strait looked solid, but a little out of place. Nice to see him get a taste of the big league though. Lets him see where he needs to get to.

He looked nervious with the puck when he was behind the net. The Caps attacked him as they should have.

His D coverage on guys wasn't bad though.

I thought Strait looked pretty shaky, but it's his first NHL game so you can't really fault him. Looks like we're going to finally get some guys back.

Another week or two and we might have a majority NHL roster again.

Nice to know the Pens have this kind of genuine depth in Wilkes-Barre. That said, I hope we see more of this shortly (as guys like Kunitz, Letestu, Crosby get healthier).
