Penguins assign defenseman Taylor Fedun to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
The Pittsburgh Penguins assigned defenseman Taylor Fedun to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL) Tuesday.

Recalled under emergency conditions on March 20, Fedun has appeared in four NHL games this season and has no points while averaging 11:04 of ice time per contest.
Serving as Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s captain for the past two seasons, the right-handed Fedun has played in 53 AHL games this season and has 10 points (three goals, seven assists).
