Frank Corrado is getting called up to an NHL roster again.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled the defenceman, and have placed Justin Schultz on injured reserve.
Corrado was traded to Pittsburgh at last year’s trade deadline after two seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs organization.
The 24-year-old’s lack of playing time was a point of much angst in Toronto, which was reluctant to put Corrado in the NHL lineup, or send him to the Marlies and risk losing him on waivers.
The Leafs picked him up off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks ahead of the 2015-16 season.
Vancouver drafted Corrado in the fifth round (150th overall) in 2011.
He has two points in six games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this year.
Schultz is out with a concussion suffered on Tuesday.
