The Penguins reduced their training camp roster to 27 players, Jim Rutherford announced Monday.
They assigned forwards Justin Almeida, Anthony Angello, Kasper Bjorkqvist, Sam Lafferty, Jake Lucchini, Sam Miletic and Oula Palve; defensemen Niclas Almari, and Pierre-Olivier Joseph; and goaltender Emil Larmi to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Forwards Andrew Agozzino, Joseph Blandisi, Joseph Cramarossa, Thomas Di Pauli, and Ryan Haggerty, and defensemen Kevin Czuczman, and David Warsofsky have all been placed on waivers for the purpose of being assigned to Wilkes-Barre.
Forwards Samuel Poulin and Nathan Legare were returned to their respective junior teams, ending any speculation that either could receive a nine-game tryout to start the season.
The camp roster now stands at 14 forwards, 10 defensemen and three goaltenders. That includes defenseman John Marino, who is the lone prospect still in camp who has never played in the NHL (or professionally at all, for that matter).
