The Penguins have reassigned forwards Nick Johnson and Dustin Jeffrey to their Wilkes-Barre/Scranton farm club, an indication that forwards Max Talbot and Pascal Dupuis are likely to return from injury and play Sunday at Philadelphia.

Johnson and Jeffrey played in one game, last night's 6-3 loss to Washington, during their short promotion. It was Johnson's first NHL game, and he scored once.

Talbot (undisclosed injury) and Dupuis (facial injury) missed that game.
