Koppanen was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen was brought up from the AHL on Sunday but will link back up with the minor-league squad in short order. The 2016 fifth-round selection (No. 135 overall) has garnered six goals, 11 points and a plus-9 rating over 22 appearances in the minors this season.

Koppanen was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen has six goals and 11 points in 22 minor-league outings this campaign. He has picked up one assist, six shots on net, four blocked shots and nine hits in 10 NHL appearances this season. Koppanen will provide Pittsburgh with a depth forward during the team's four-game road trip, which begins against Seattle on Monday.

Koppanen scored twice and added an assist in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-2 win over Utica on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen has four points over five games since returning to WBS after being waived by the Penguins. It's an improvement on his first stint in the minors this year, but the 27-year-old still has just six points through 11 outings in the AHL this year. The Finnish forward will need to show more to work his way back to the NHL later this season.

Koppanen (illness) was placed on waivers Friday, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen missed Thursday's 4-3 win over Tampa Bay due to an illness, but rather than rejoin the team, he's now on track to either head to the minors or be claimed. The 27-year-old has an assist in 10 appearances with Pittsburgh this season. The Penguins previously waived Koppanen on Oct. 2, and he went unclaimed, so it's likely he'll the same will happen this time, and he'll report to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Koppanen (illness) is set to miss Thursday's game against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen has three assists in 16 outings in 2025-26. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday in Dallas, but Koppanen is sometimes a healthy scratch, so there's no guarantee he'll be in the lineup even if he's available.

Koppanen will not practice Wednesday due to an illness, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen was a healthy scratch against the Flyers on Monday, so his potential absence may not impact the Penguins' lineup versus the Lightning on Thursday. Still, if the 27-year-old winger is unable to travel with the team, it could force the club to bring up another forward from the minors to give Pittsburgh a healthy extra player for its two-game road trip.

Koppanen logged an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen picked up his first helper in five outings this season. He's added four hits, three shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The 27-year-old forward is likely ticketed for bottom-six minutes until the Penguins can get some injured forwards back in action.

Koppanen was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen is likely to serve as an emergency depth option for the Penguins ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Capitals. If the winger does play, it may come at the expense of Ville Koivunen or Filip Hallander. Still, Koppanen's promotion gives the Pens a 13th healthy forward on the 23-man roster. In the minors this year, Koppanen has generated just one goal and one assist in six minor-league tilts.

Koppanen was designated for waivers by the Penguins on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen logged 11 NHL games for the Penguins last year, and he generated one goal, 10 shots and 40 hits while averaging 13:23 of ice time. The 27-year-old winger may not start the year with Pittsburgh, but he should be on the short list of potential call-ups throughout the 2025-26 campaign. Still, even if he does join the big club at some point, Koppanen is unlikely to see enough ice time to provide much in the way of fantasy value.

Koppanen signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Penguins on Tuesday, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Koppanen had a goal in 11 appearances with Pittsburgh in 2024-25. He also recorded eight goals and 23 points across 56 regular-season outings with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The 27-year-old will probably start next season in the minors.
