There's still competition to be had in the Pittsburgh Penguins' organization.
General manager Jim Rutherford announced Monday that former third-round selection Oskar Sundqvist has been summoned from his native Sweden and reassigned to the club's American Hockey League affiliate in Wilkes/Barre Scranton.
The 21-year-old forward scored nine goals and 19 points in 41 games with Skelleftea AIK of Sweden's top division.
The Baby Penguins are up 2-0 in their first-round series with the Syracuse Crunch.
