The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-assigned forward Beau Bennett to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, the team announced.
Bennett, 21, had three points (1G-2A) and a plus-1 rating in eight NHL games this season.
This move would give the Penguins just 12 forwards on their active roster once Boychuk is claimed or clears waivers tomorrow at noon. This could just be a paper move in regards to the Bennett re-assignment.
