Travis Bednar is set to make his NHL debut as the backup goaltender for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 24-year-old goaltender has been called up from the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to provide depth in goal as the team navigates a busy stretch of games. Bednar's promotion comes as the Penguins face off against the New York Islanders on Tuesday night, and he will likely be tasked with providing relief to starting goaltender Casey DeSmith. With the Penguins fighting for a playoff spot, Bednar's performance will be closely watched as he looks to make a lasting impression in the NHL.
