Penguins Reduce Roster to 43

The Penguins announced yesterday that they reduced their training camp roster to 43.

The following ten players have been assigned to Pittsburgh's AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton: forwards Aaron Boogaard, Zack Sill, Joey Haddad, Casey Pierro-Zabotel, Nick Petersen and Keven Veilleux; defensemen Lane Caffaro, Brian Strait and Alex Grant; and goaltender Jordan Parise.

The Penguins have re-assigned forward Nathan Moon to the OHL Kingston Frontenacs and released defenseman Jamie Hunt.

This leaves Pittsburgh with 26 forwards, 13 defensemen and four goaltenders remaining in training camp.

Pittsburgh will have to reduce the roster once again by September 30th to 23 players prior to the start of the regular season.
