The Penguins have reduced their training camp roster down to 27 players, assigning both defenseman Juuso Riikola and forward Michael Chaput to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the American Hockey League.
Both players will report to the AHL club’s training camp.
Riikola is in the second of a two-year contract signed with the team last year, while Chaput signed a two-way contract with the team over the summer.
In the Penguins final preseason tune-up game on Saturday, Chad Ruhwedel, Bryan Rust, Teddy Blueger, and Jason Zucker all chipped in goals for the team en route to a 4-3 overtime win over Columbus.
