PENS OPTION SIX PLAYERS TO WBS FARM TEAM IN TIME FOR PLAYOFF RUN

While the Pittsburgh Penguins season is over, the minor league squads are still in action for the AHL’s Calder Cup playoffs.

With that in mind, the Pens reassigned forwards Vasily Ponomarev, Joona Koppanen, Sam Poulin, Ville Koivunen, Valtteri Puustinen and Filip Kral back to the Wilkes-Barre team.  The Baby Pens have qualified for the playoffs, but playoff seeding is on the line as they play their final regular season games.  The Baby Pens lost the first of those two last night to the Hershey Bears 4-2.

The regular season finale is tonight against the Cleveland Monsters.
