Because you need extra guys in case of injury. That's why there aren't just 18 players on the roster. It's not a bad thing to call them up even if they don't play because:
A. They couldn't have been playing in the NHL until tomorrow because there were no games.
B. They get to practice with the big kids.
C. They get paid big kid salaries.
D. It's a reward for decent play, and who knows, they might get a shot. through injury or coaches decision. Which they won't if they aren't here.
