The Penguins were movin’ and shakin’ on Thursday, sending five players to their Wilkes-Barre/Scranton farm club and waiving six others.
The five players assigned to the Baby Pens include forwards Mathieu De St. Phalle and Aidan McDonough, defensemen Scooter Brickey and Chase Pietila and goalie Taylor Gauthier. Pietila is the lone player among the assignees on an NHL contract.
Hitting the waiver wire were forwards Danton Heinen, Joona Koppanen and Valtteri Puustinen, along with defensemen Sebastian Aho and Philip Kemp and goaltender Filip Larsson.
