Kasperi Kapanen may have time to shop the Yorkville Boxing Week sales, as he was sent down to the AHL earlier today. In limited NHL action, he recorded 2 goals in 6 games, largely on the fourth line, playing with Matt Martin and Dominic Moore.
Once again, it’s easy to feel a little bad for the guy. Kapanen is definitely a NHL player, but his waiver status and the return of Auston Matthews from injury meant there weren’t enough forward spots, and he’s the only player who can be sent to the AHL without issue.
