Updated: Penguins Demote Johnson, Recall D
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
In moves announced hours apart Sunday, the Pittsburgh Penguins assigned spare defenseman Ryan Johnson to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, then recalled defenseman Ilya Solovyov from WBS.
The Johnson move opened a roster spot but the team didn’t fill it until later in the day. Adding to the curious timing of the moves, Penguins left-handed defenseman Sam Girard was injured in the second period Saturday in the team’s 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights and did not return.
