  • Penguins' Joona Koppanen: On waiver wire

    Koppanen was waived by Pittsburgh on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Koppanen was a long shot to make the 23-man roster for Opening Night in the first place, so his waiver designation shouldn't come as a surprise. The 26-year-old Finn has managed just nine NHL games in his career, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to make much of an impact during the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Penguins' Joona Koppanen: Sent down Friday

    Koppanen was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

    Koppanen's demotion is likely a technical move to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs -- he could be brought back up ahead of Saturday's clash with Boston. At this point, look for players like Koppanen to get extended looks down the stretch as the Penguins turn their attention toward the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Bruins' Joona Koppanen: Headed back to minors

    Koppanen was sent down to AHL Providence on Monday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

    Koppanen has logged just five games at the NHL level this season, so there's a chance he won't be back ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Toronto. Even if he is recalled prior to puck drop, Koppanen could find himself sitting in the press box as a healthy scratch.

  • Bruins' Joona Koppanen: Elevated to NHL roster

    Koppanen was called up from AHL Providence on Wednesday.

    Koppanen's promotion could see him make his NHL debut against the Kraken on Thursday after he traded places with Chris Wagner, who was shipped down in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old Koppanen is off to a strong start to his season in the minors with five goals and 14 assists in 34 contests. If the winger does debut versus Seattle, it figures to be in a bottom-six role where he will get minimal minutes.

  • Bruins' Joona Koppanen: Secures one-year deal

    Koppanen signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston on Thursday.

The 24-year-old center could be in line to make his NHL debut during the 2022-23 campaign but figures to be a long-shot for a full-time spot on the 23-man roster.

    Boston selected Koppanen in the fifth round of the 2016 Entry Draft, but the 23-year-old winger has yet to make his NHL debut. The 6-foot-5 forward will likely spend most of the 2021-22 campaign in the minors.

  • Bruins' Joona Koppanen: Working his way up

    Koppanen has eight points in 14 games with AHL Providence.

    After starting the season in the ECHL, Koppanen has found his scoring ways in the AHL. The Bruins are happy to see this turn since Koppanen only turned out four points over his 55 games with the team over the past two seasons. He has a long way to go before he earns an NHL call-up, but at only 21, he has plenty of time to develop.
