Joona Koppanen Waived: Penguins Shake Up Roster, More Changes Ahead?
The Pittsburgh Penguins have made a surprising move by placing winger Joona Koppanen on waivers. With the NHL season in full swing, this decision raises questions about the team’s strategy.
Koppanen, a 6’5” Finnish forward, has seen limited action in the NHL this season, recording just one assist in 10 games. However, he has shown promise in the AHL with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where he has two points in 16 games.
The Penguins’ decision to waive Koppanen could be a strategic move to gain roster flexibility, especially with forwards Justin Brazeau and Noel Acciari nearing their return from injuries.

– Koppanen’s journey and potential future in the NHL
– The Penguins’ recent performance and lineup adjustments
– Possible implications for the team’s upcoming games
