WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins announced today that they have recalled defenseman Scooter Brickey from their ECHL affiliate, the Wheeling Nailers.

Brickey, 26, has appeared in seven games for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season, picking up one assist. All 44 of his career AHL games have been as a member of the Penguins, starting at the end of 2023-24 campaign. Brickey has earned five assists in that time.

During his recent assignment to Wheeling, Brickey posted three goals and two assists for five points in eight games. He lit the lamp for his first pro goal on Nov. 28 against the Toledo Walleye, then tallied again later that same night.

Prior to joining Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Brickey enjoyed a five-year collegiate career split between Western Michigan University and Ohio State University. The right-hand shot blueliner from Port Huron, Michigan led the Buckeye with 13 goals in 2023-24, which was also good for second among the nation's defensemen.
