The Pittsburgh Penguins assigned defenseman Ilya Solovyov to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Solovyov cleared waivers before that transaction was made.<\/p>\n
A left-handed shot, Solovyov has been a healthy scratch for the team\u2019s first four games of the season. During the preseason, Solovyov appeared in two games and recorded one assist as well as two shots.<\/p>\n
The Penguins acquired Solovyov (6-foot-3, 229 pounds) in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche on Jan. 20. After joining the club, he appeared in 14 games and posted five assists while averaging 14 minutes, 6 seconds of ice time. He also played in three postseason games and did not generate any points while clocking 7:10 of ice time per contest.<\/p>\n
A pending restricted free agent this past offseason, Solovyov re-signed with the Penguins on May 7, agreeing to a one-year contract with a salary cap hit of $850,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Penguins assigned defenseman Ilya Solovyov to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Saturday afternoon.
