The Penguins waived Jesse Puljujarvi yesterday and today found out that he will be sticking around the organization a little longer after all 31 other teams in the NHL passed on claiming the Finnish winger.
The other piece of good news for Pittsburgh is that Marcus Pettersson will be back in the lineup tonight after recovering from an injury. Additionally, rookie Owen Pickering practiced this morning, and while he’s not cleared to return from his concussion just yet, it looks like he’s had a couple good days in a row as his participation level gradually increases. Further, Kris Letang has been listed as “day to day” with his injury, and while he won’t play tonight, the team might not be without his services for too much longer either.
