Lands on unconditional waivers Pittsburgh put Puljujarvi on unconditional waivers Saturday for the purpose of terminating his contract, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Puljujarvi had one goal and two assists in four AHL appearances with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2024-25. He produced three goals and nine points across 26 NHL outings with Pittsburgh. Once the process is complete, the 26-year-old forward will become an unrestricted free agent.

Reassigned to AHL Puljujarvi was sent to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

Impact Puljujarvi was a healthy scratch in Pittsburgh's past two games. He has three goals and nine points in 26 appearances with the Penguins this campaign. Puljujarvi has also contributed a goal and three points in three outings with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Recalled by Pittsburgh Puljujarvi was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.

Impact Puljujarvi was sent to the minors in mid-January, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Evgeni Malkin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve. Puljujarvi has made 25 appearances for Pittsburgh this year, racking up three goals, six assists, 43 hits and 10 PIM while averaging 11:35 of ice time. His role with the Penguins during his current stint in the NHL will likely depend on when Blake Lizotte (illness) and Bryan Rust (lower body) are cleared to return.

Headed back to minors Puljujarvi was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Impact Puljujarvi's demotion comes as Evgeni Malkin (upper body) was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move. After Puljujarvi passed through waivers in late December, he was always going to be the easiest player to move between levels when a transaction was needed. During this latest NHL stint, the 26-year-old Swede notched one assist, four shots and 13 hits in four games while averaging 11:28 of ice time.

Snags helper in win Puljujarvi notched an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

Impact Puljujarvi got on the scoresheet against his former team, securing his first point since a goal Nov. 19 versus the Lightning. The 26-year-old winger cleared waivers Dec. 31, so he is still vulnerable to be sent to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton until he plays 10 games or spends 30 days on the NHL roster. This season, he has a modest nine points with 35 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-1 rating over 23 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Remains with team Puljujarvi will be a healthy scratch against Carolina on Sunday.

Impact After clearing waivers, Puljujarvi didn't play against Detroit on Tuesday and Florida on Friday. He has appeared in only 21 games this season, collecting three goals, five assists, 30 hits and 34 shots on net.

Hits waivers Puljujarvi was placed on waivers Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Puljujarvi has three goals, five assists, 30 hits and 34 shots on net through 21 appearances with Pittsburgh this season. He has been a healthy scratch in nine straight outings and has played once in the last 15 games. If Puljujarvi passes through waivers, he could report to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for playing time.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Slipping out of favor Puljujarvi was scratched for the 10th time in the last 11 games when he sat out Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact Puljujarvi's exit from the lineup coincides with a span in which the Penguins have won eight of 11 contests. As such, it's tough to see the 26-year-old winger getting a chance until the team's fortunes turn sour. Puljujarvi has eight points, 34 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-2 rating over 21 outings in a bottom-six role this season.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goals in consecutive games Puljujarvi scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Impact Puljujarvi opened the scoring at 12:05 of the first period. It was his second goal in as many games, which is helping him maintain a bottom-six job even as the Penguins flounder near the bottom of the standings. The 26-year-old winger is at three goals, eight points, 32 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-1 rating over 18 appearances this season.

Nets goal in shootout win Puljujarvi scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.

Impact The tally ended his five-game point drought. Puljujarvi has a tenuous grip on a spot in the lineup, but the Penguins' lack of better options has allowed him to stay in regularly. The winger is at two goals, seven points, 27 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-2 rating over 17 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Notches helper Tuesday Puljujarvi recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Islanders.

Impact Puljujarvi had been scratched in the previous two games, but he replaced Valtteri Puustinen in the lineup in a bottom-six role. Despite seeing a modest 9:49 of ice time, Puljujarvi was able to get on the scoresheet for the first time in his last five outings. The winger has six points, 13 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-1 rating over 11 appearances, but he's likely to be a rotational depth forward for much of the campaign.

Contributes assist in loss Puljujarvi recorded an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact Not many things have gone right for the Penguins, but Puljujarvi is an early success story. He has a goal, four assists, 10 shots on net and nine hits over six games, and his recent run of production earned him a top-six look at even strength in Sunday's game. The lines are likely to remain in a blender as the Penguins continue to struggle, but Puljujarvi has already surpassed his point total from 22 games last season (four) as he tries to jump-start his career at age 26.

Contributes goal in wild win Puljujarvi scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres.

Impact Puljujarvi tied the game at 3-3 late in the second period with his first goal of the campaign. The 26-year-old has three points, seven shots on net and five hits over four appearances this season. While he was a healthy scratch once, Puljujarvi's job security on the third line got a large boost when Rutger McGroarty was sent down to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton prior to Wednesday's game.

Logs assist in return to lineup Puljujarvi had an assist, one shot, one hit and two penalty minutes in Monday's 6-3 win over Montreal.

Impact Puljujarvi returned to the lineup after sitting out Saturday's game as a healthy scratch. He was back on the third line and made an immediate impact, setting up Lars Eller for the first goal of the game. The helper was the second of the season for Puljujarvi, who dished one in a 6-3 win over Detroit last week.

Three points in preseason win Puljujarvi bagged one goal (on three shots) and added two assists in Friday's 7-3 preseason win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Puljujarvi had an extremely productive 11-second stint in the second period, bagging Pittsburgh's third goal and setting up Rutger McGroarty's tally. Puljujarvi would finish his day by delivering an assist in Lars Eller's second goal -- and Pittsburgh's seventh of the night. The 26-year-old right winger is expected to hold a middle-six role with the Penguins once Pittsburgh opens the season against the Rangers on Oct. 9.

Underwhelms offensively Puljujarvi notched just three goals and one assist in 22 games for the Penguins this season.

Impact Puljujarvi didn't sign with the Pens until February, so perhaps a full training camp will help set him up to produce more offensively next season. Having said that, the 25-year-old winger is unlikely to challenge for a top-six role, so his opportunities are likely to be limited.
