Aston-Reese will report to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this weekend on an amateur tryout contract this year.

Aston-Reese drew widespread interest across the NHL after his dominant season that saw him record 31 goals and 32 assists for a total of 63 points in just 38 games with the Northeastern University Huskies.

It's a huge win for the Penguins who were competing with a number of other teams for his services.
