Penguins players eligible to return to Wilkes Barre for playoff push

The Pittsburgh Penguins have just one regular season game remaining on the schedule which will allow for them to return players to the AHL Penguins.

The players that are currently on the Pittsburgh roster that will be eligible to return to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton are Jack St. Ivany, Ryan Shea, Valtteri Puustinen and Radim Zohorna.



This will be a much-welcomed addition to the red-hot Wilkes-Barre club who clinched the Calder Cup playoffs earlier this month.




The WBS Penguins have two remaining regular season games left on their schedule before heading into the playoffs as the third seed.


The Baby Pens will wrap up their season against the rival Leigh Valley Phantoms. The Phantoms still have a lot to play for, as their magic number to make the playoffs is down to one more win.

Players like Jack St. Ivany and Ryan Shea have been key to the recent Pittsburgh Penguins success. Even though they both are combined for only 2 points (one goal for Shea, one assist for St. Ivany) in 43 games (30 games for Shea and 13 for St. Ivany) they formed a very successful third defensive line that Mike Sullivan felt confident enough to use at key points during games.

Their contributions to the team and to Wilkes-Barre will help the WBS Penguins with the run for the Calder Cup this year.
