Ilya Solovyov Reassigned to AHL by Pittsburgh Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins reassigned defenseman Ilya Solovyov to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL on Saturday. The 26-year-old blueliner has appeared in just three NHL games this season, last playing in a 3-2 win on Oct. 24. Solovyov did not require waivers as he had not met the 30-day or 10-game threshold. Head coach Dan Muse noted the move is intended to get Solovyov consistent playing time.
