WILKES-BARRE, PA - The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-assigned goaltender David Brown from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to the Wheeling Nailers, it was announced on Thursday. Additionally, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has loaned forward Jordan Morrison to the Nailers.
Brown, 23, allowed four goals in 20 minutes of play during an 8-4 loss to Hershey on Wednesday night.
