After a bit of a wait to get to the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Vasily Ponomarev’s first tryout is over. After three games in the NHL lineup, Ponomarev, 22, will take those lessons learned after a few rocky outings back the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL. The Penguins sent Ponomarev back to WBS Saturday to make room for Kevin Hayes, whom the club activated later Saturday afternoon. Ponomarev didn’t record a point in his three games. Hayes, 32, has been on IR.
