According to the Penguins’ official website, five players have been assigned to
the team’s AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Those players are forwards
Fredrik Tiffels and Troy Josephs, defensemen Dane Birks and Joe

In addition to those players, six others were returned to
their junior hockey teams. Those players include forwards Jordy Bellerive,
Justin Almeida, Jan Drozg, defensemen Calen Addison and Antti Palojarvi and
goaltender Alex D’Orio.
A total of 27 forwards, 14 defensemen and

The Penguins have dropped their opening two preseason games,
but will return home for back-to-back home games this weekend.
On Saturday, the Penguins will host the Columbus Blue
Jackets at 3 p.m. On Sunday, the Detroit Red Wings come to town.
Sunday’s contest will be the eighth annual “Free Game for
Kids” and puck drop is scheduled for 3 p.m.
