The Pittsburgh Penguins recalled goalie Tomas Vokoun from the AHL on Monday, the team announced, adding to their depth in net for the playoffs.
Vokoun was on a conditioning assignment with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He played in two games over the weekend, going 1-1.
It was his first game action since having emergency surgery to dissolve a blood clot in September.
The Penguins open the postseason Wednesday against Columbus.
