- Head coach John Hynes confirmed on Monday that some Wilkes-Barre/Scranton players will head to Pittsburgh after tonight�??s game in Norfolk to participate in Wednesday�??s Black and Gold scrimmage with the NHL club. Hynes said Pittsburgh management will be at the Norfolk game to select some players to play in the scrimmage. �??I think it�??s great for the players. They get an opportunity to go up there, get some exposure and be around the locker room. To be on that stage is good for them,�?� Hynes said.
- Hynes didn�??t know if the suspension of Keven Veilleux in Wheeling means that he won�??t be able to play in Wilkes-Barre if recalled. On Sunday Veilleux was suspended indefinitely after alleging directing a racial slur toward an opponent. �??We haven�??t talked about it yet. I probably won�??t be too involved in that,�?� Hynes said, adding that upper management will likely make the call.
- On the injury front, Benn Ferriero practiced on Monday and is questionable for tonight�??s game. Recent call-up Paul Crowder has been wearing the 14 worn by Tom Kuhnhackl this season. Hynes said Kuhnhackl, who has been out with a shoulder injury, had surgery and is done for the season.
