Moved to non-roster list Kuzmenko (personal) was deemed a non-roster player by the Penguins on Monday.

Impact Kuzmenko played in 52 regular-season games for the Kings last year in which he notched 13 goals and 12 assists, including 13 power-play points. Once the 30-year-old winger rejoins the team, he should be in the mix for a middle-six role with the Penguins.

Attending to personal matter Kuzmenko is returning to Russia following the death of his father, the team announced Thursday.

Impact Kuzmenko will be away from the team for an undetermined amount of time while attending to this personal matter. Once the 30-year-old winger is back with the club, he should step right back into a middle-six role for the club.

Headed for Steel City Kuzmenko signed a one-year, $5 million contract with Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

Impact Kuzmenko's deal is pretty much the Kyle Dubas standard at this point -- a one-year deal that won't impact the team long term and could have value at the trade deadline. The 30-year-old winger logged 52 regular-season games with the Kings last year, producing 13 goals, including eight with the man advantage. Kuzmenko could find himself paired up with fellow Russian Evgeni Malkin on the second line, though his hold on that spot would likely be tenuous at best.

Will be reevaluated in 7-8 days Kuzmenko (knee) is making strides in his recovery and will be reevaluated in 7-8 days, Alexander Legget of Mayors Manor reports Wednesday.

Impact Kuzmenko was previously ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, but this latest update would leave the door open for him to play in the season finale versus the Flames on April 16. In his 15 games before getting hurt, the 30-year-old winger notched four goals and five assists, including five power-play points.
