Riikola, Chaput clear waivers, sent to Wilkes-Barre

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Defenseman Juuso Riikola and forward Michael Chaput both passed through waivers unclaimed on Saturday afternoon and were assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

If recalled, Riikola or Chaput can play 10 games or spend up to 30 days on the NHL roster before needing waivers again.

The assignments bring the Penguins' training camp roster down to 27 players.

The Penguins on Saturday put forward Anthony Angello on waivers. If he goes unclaimed, he can clear on Sunday at 2 p.m.
