PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Justin Schultz is back on the team's active roster just in time for a weekend double-header.

Schultz was activated off the injured reserve on Friday after missing 53 games with a broken leg.

Head coach Mike Sullivan said Schultz would be a game-time decision Saturday for the match-up against the Calgary Flames.

The team will still be without defenseman Olli Maatta who was placed on the injured reserve for an upper body injury.
