PENGUINS REASSIGN KYLE JACKSON TO WHEELING
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins announced today that they have reassigned forward Kyle Jackson to their ECHL affiliate, the Wheeling Nailers.
Jackson currently leads the Nailers with 27 goals on the season. The 22-year-old is also ranked second on the team with 50 points.
Jackson made his AHL debut with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last Sunday, Mar. 30 against the Charlotte Checkers. In two games as a Penguin, the Ottawa, Ontario native recorded three shots and no points.
The Penguins signed Jackson to an AHL contract in August following his first season as a pro with the Kansas City Mavericks. As a rookie, Jackson gathered 14 goals and 30 assists for 44 points in 53 games. Those totals were all good for third among Mavericks rookies.
Before turning pro with Kansas City, Jackson played four seasons in the Ontario Hockey League for the North Bay Battalion. In 186 OHL games, the 2022 seventh-round draft pick of the Seattle Kraken gathered 71 goals and 99 assists for 170 points.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s next game is on Friday, Apr. 11 against the Hershey Bears. It will also be the last WBRE 28 / WYOU 22 Fan Friday of the season. Select draft beers will be on sale for $2 from 6:00-7:30 courtesy of Coors Light, and there will be postgame player autographs presented by Northeast Music Center.
Puck drop between the Penguins and Bears is slated for 7:05 p.m. at Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza.
