Tristan Broz to Make Penguins Debut Wednesday as Pittsburgh Shuffles Roster

Coach Dan Muse confirmed the debut as Pittsburgh reset depth through Tomasino's reassignment plus brief conditioning stints for Harrison Brunicke, Jack St. Ivany.

Overview

  • Muse said Broz will play his first NHL game Wednesday against the Sabres after being recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
  • The 23-year-old 2021 second-round pick has eight goals and 13 points in 18 AHL games this season after a 19-goal rookie year.
  • Philip Tomasino was reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton following one assist in nine NHL games this season after clearing waivers last week.
  • Defensemen Harrison Brunicke and Jack St. Ivany were sent to the AHL on up-to-14-day conditioning loans, with St. Ivany activated from injured reserve.
  • Reporting frames the moves as a "little shake-up" to boost depth scoring, and some coverage suggests Brunicke could later be loaned to Team Canada for the World Juniors, which remains unconfirmed.
