The Pittsburgh Penguins loaned defenseman Jack St. Ivany to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL) for a conditioning assignment Monday.<\/p>\n
Currently designated to injured reserve due to a left hand injury that required surgery, St. Ivany has not played since Jan. 25. Upon announcing his injury Jan. 27, the Penguins offered a timeframe of \u201cup to eight weeks\u201d for recovery.<\/p>\n
A right-handed shot, St. Ivany has been limited by various injuries this season, appearing in only 17 games and posting seven assists while averaging 15:39 of ice time per contest, primarily on the third pairing.<\/p>\n
During the preseason, he suffered a suspected right foot injury that sidelined him for much of the first two months of regular season play. During that recovery, he was loaned to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton for conditioning purposes in late November.<\/p>\n
During that assignment, he skated in five AHL games and posted five points (one goal, four assists).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Penguins loaned defenseman Jack St. Ivany to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL) for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133538,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178,180,179],"class_list":["post-133537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
