Penguins return Sabourin to minors

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins reassigned goaltender Dany Sabourin to their Wilkes-Barre farm club Thursday after he gave up goals on the first two shots he faced in a 6-1 loss in Columbus.

Sabourin was lifted after allowing four goals on 14 shots in slightly more than one period of play Wednesday night. He was recalled from Wilkes-Barre earlier in the day, after the Penguins learned goalie Jocelyn Thibault may miss the rest of the season with an injured hip.

The 25-year-old Sabourin is 15-1-1 with a 1.78 goals-against average at Wilkes-Barre of the AHL this season.

Slippery Rock University's Charlie Pienaar picked up a pin over Clarion's Dominic Ross in the 184-pound bout to spark The Rock to a 30-12 victory in PSAC wrestling Thursday night.Sal Lascari (133 pounds), Gerald Christian (157) and Jason Cardillo (165) all picked up major decision wins for SRU (5-5).
