The Pittsburgh Penguins cut six players from their training camp roster Saturday afternoon.
All six players were return to their respective junior teams in the Ontario Hockey League:
Forwards — Justin Cloutier (Soo Greyhounds), Cooper Foster (Ottawa 67’s)
Defensemen — Caeden Carlisle (Soo Greyhounds), Donovan McCoy (Sudbury Wolves), Emil Pieniniemi (Kingston Frontenacs)
Goaltender — Charlie Schenkel (Soo Greyhounds)
Foster (sixth round, No. 174 overall) and Pieniniemi (third round, N0. 91 overall) were selected in the 2023 NHL Draft. Pieniniemi is signed to a three-year entry level contract that will slide — or begin — once he turns professional.
Carlisle, Cloutier, McCoy and Schenkel were non-roster invitees to camp.
