The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-assigned defenseman Dylan Reese to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero.

The Penguins also announced that defensemen Kris Letang and Matt Niskanen have been activated from injured reserve.
