Penguins defenseman Simon Despres was activated off injured reserve and demoted to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL.
Despres, 20, has been sidelined since injuring his knee, Jan. 10 against the Senators. In 14 NHL games this season, he has four points (one goal, three assists).
In 23 AHL games, Despres, a first-round pick in 2009, has seven points (three goals, four assists).
EN Says: If Despres wasn't on an entry-level contract, he'd be in the NHL. He's shown that he's capable of playing at this level full time. But since he doesn't have to clear waivers in order to move between Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, he'll remain in the AHL for now.
This is similiar to how the Penguins used Alex Goligoski in 2008-09.
