The Penguins have assigned defenseman Zach Trotman to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.
Trotman, 29, has appeared in eight NHL games this season and has no points. In 23 AHL games, he has 11 points (three goals, eight assists).
He has been recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton twice this season.
Trotman’s departure coincides with injured defensemen Brian Dumoulin and John Marino participating fully in practice at PPG Paints Arena on Monday. Dumoulin (left ankle) and Marino (face) each skated without any apparent limitations with regards to contact.
