The Penguins re-assigned Ville Koivunen to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton ahead of today's game.
The move really isn't an indication of anything other than the Penguins being healthy at forward, with the exception of Filip Hallander. There's no roster limit after the trade deadline, so there wasn't a roster management need that forced the move. It's just best to get Koivunen playing time in the AHL if he isn't going to play up here.
