Penguins open roster spot, waive Emil Bemstrom

The Penguins will have another roster spot open by this afternoon.

The Pens placed Emil Bemstrom on waivers Monday, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.

If he clears waivers by 2 p.m. ET tomorrow, Bemstrom can join the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins for their playoff push.

Emil Bemstrom on waivers by #Pens, per @FriedgeHNIC.

Bemstrom was on #WBSPens roster on #NHLTradeDeadline day, so if he clears waivers tomorrow he can join AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

He didn't need waivers earlier this month because he hadn't yet appeared in 10 NHL games.
