The Pittsburgh Penguins are facing some tough salary restrictions this season while paying big bucks to guys like Crosby, Letang, and Malkin.

The Penguins have less than $90,000 to work with in cap space this season, and with recent injuries, they do not have room to make any call-ups.

The only way the team could make a call up is if a player goes to the Long-Term Injured Reserve list, which doesn't seem likely.

The Penguins had defensemen Chad Ruhwedel play forward in there two most recent games, tough luck with the salary crunch.
