Injured forward Blake Lizotte worked today in practice on the Penguins’ new look third line with Michael Bunting and Drew O’Connor.
To get Lizotte back on the 23-player roster, Pittsburgh would need to shed a player currently on it. That question was answered when the waiver list came out this afternoon.
Puustinen (PIT) on waivers

Puustinen made the Pens roster out of training camp in no small part due to preseason injuries to Lizotte and Bryan Rust. From there, a rotating cast of forwards including Lizotte, Rust, Kevin Hayes and Cody Glass have come on and off of injured reserve, allowing Puustinen to scoot by as the team’s 12th or 13th forward.
