Overview
- Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Friday that Pittsburgh waived Joona Koppanen and Florida put Anton Lundmark on unconditional waivers.
- If unclaimed, Koppanen will be assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton under standard waiver rules.
- The 27-year-old center logged 10 straight NHL games after a November recall, posting one assist before a scratch and an illness.
- He cleared waivers in camp and was recalled as Pittsburgh adjusted to Filip Hallander’s blood clot diagnosis.
- Florida’s move is for contract termination; if Lundmark, 24, clears, he becomes a UFA after a nine-game, scoreless AHL stint following his April $975,000 entry-level signing.
