The Pittsburgh Penguins assigned defenseman Ryan Graves to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Wednesday after he cleared waivers.<\/p>\n
This is the second time Graves has gone through waivers and was sent to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton.<\/p>\n
He previously went through that process Oct. 5.<\/p>\n
With Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton, Graves appeared in 10 games and posted seven points (one goal, six assists) before earning a recall Nov. 4.<\/p>\n
With the NHL club, he was largely stationed on the third pairing, playing in 17 games with one goal while clocking 15:19 per contest.<\/p>\n
Graves, 30, is in the third year of a six-year contract that carries a salary cap hit of $4.5 million. With an assignment to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton, $1.15 million of his salary cap hit will come off the books for the NHL club per league rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Penguins assigned defenseman Ryan Graves to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Wednesday after he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178,180,179],"class_list":{"0":"post-75066","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-scranton","8":"tag-scranton","9":"tag-scranton-headlines","10":"tag-scranton-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75066","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=75066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
