Megna was a healthy scratch on Friday and with the addition of David Perron yesterday, there was no way Megna was getting into the lineup over Perron on Saturday. He heads back to WBS where he has 14 points (9G / 5A) in 22 games.
Megna, 24, has registered 14 points (9G / 5A) in 22 games with WBS this season. He has also recorded one assist in nine games with the Penguins this year.
Megna took four minor penalties in the Penguins win over the Flames last night. Taking four penalties when you’re on a recall is not a great way to stick with the big-club, so he will be replaced by Bryan Rust tonight vs. the Blue Jackets.
With Patric Hornqvist not on the ice this morning after suffering an injury last night, Megna filled his spot on the Penguins top line with Sidney Crosby and Nick Spaling. Pittsburgh is without Crosby's two usual linemates in Chris Kunitz and now Hornqvist so they will need someone to step up and fill those shoes. For now it looks like it will be Megna, who now has some sneaky value in one-day leagues.
Megna played 36 games with the Penguins last season, tallying five goals and four assists. He will replace Zach Sill on the Penguins fourth line vs. the Bruins.
Megna, 24, has recorded a team-high nine goals with three assists (12 points) in 17 games with WBS before his recall. He has yet to suit up for the Penguins this season, but has nine points (5G / 4A) in 36 career games (all in 2013-14). There’s no word on if this recall is related to an injury to current Penguins forward.
Megna, 24, has recorded two goals and one assist in nine games with WBS this season. Megna played 36 games in his rookie season a year ago and totalled nine points (5G / 4A). No word on if he will be in the lineup on Thursday.

Megna has seven point (4G / 3A) in 24 games with the Penguins this season. While in the AHL he has collected nine goals and five assists (14 points) in 22 games. Coach Bylsma said that Megna will only play in emergency situations.
The Penguins played their last game before the break on Friday, so they have assigned a trio of forwards to play in the AHL during the Olympic break.
Megna was injured in Monday's game against the Maple Leafs. With him going on IR it opened up a roster spot for Brian Gibbons to be recalled. The injuries continue to pile up for the Penguins.
Megna has appeared in six games with the Penguins this season, recording two goals and one assist. With Beau Bennett out for two months and Matt D'Agostini on waivers, Megna could be up to stay for a long period of time.
