From Penguins.NHL.com: The Pittsburgh Penguins have assigned forwards Dustin Jeffrey and Steve MacIntyre to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on a conditioning assignment, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero. Jeffrey and MacIntyre will remain on Pittsburgh’s 23-man active roster and will be paid their NHL salary during their conditioning assignment. Consider us confused. This feels a little like Shero sending Tangradi down to Wheeling last year in that it may be a procedural move, but the two remaining on the active roster confuses us.

Engelland took long, hard road into NHL

Via Post-Gazette  |  November 09, 2011

Engelland, you see, played 148 games in the ECHL -- two full rungs below the NHL -- and nearly twice that many in the American Hockey League before pulling on an NHL sweater for the first time two years ago Thursday.

Farewell: Mark Letestu

Via The Pensblog  |  November 08, 2011

Assistant coach at the time, Dan Bylsma, pulled the undrafted forward aside and injected some of his BYLSMAGIC into him.
