Will play Tuesday Kapanen will be in the lineup against the Capitals on Tuesday.
Impact Kapanen will be making his first appearance for the team this year after missing the first three contests while in the league's COVID-19 protocols. Originally, the team planned to have Monday off, but the ability to get Kapanen some ice time with linemate Sidney Crosby was likely too intriguing for coach Mike Sullivan to pass up.

Impact Kapanen finished his quarantine and rejoined the team at practice Monday. There's a good chance that he's back in action Tuesday, and he'll likely slot into the top six if that's the case. Last season, the 24-year-old posted 13 goals and 36 points over 69 games with the Maple Leafs.

Cleared from virus protocols Coach Mike Sullivan said Sunday that Kapanen has finished his quarantine, but he won't suit up in Sunday's game against Washington.
Impact The 24-year-old skated ahead of Sunday's game for the first time this season after he completed his mandatory seven-day quarantine. It's likely that the team will look to get Kapanen back into playing shape before thrusting him into the lineup, but once he returns, the Finn is expected to handle a top-six role. Evan Rodrigues and Bryan Rust are both candidates to be shuffled down the depth chart once Kapanen is cleared. Kapanen's next chance to suit up is in Tuesday game against Washington.

Begins quarantine Kapanen landed in Pittsburgh on Saturday and began his seven-day quarantine, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
Impact Kapanen will miss the first two games of the season, but he may be ready for the Jan. 17 matchup against Washington, although he wouldn't have much practice time before that outing. The 24-year-old has a chance to secure a top-six role with the Penguins after he produced 13 goals and 23 assists over 69 games with the Maple Leafs last year.

Set to travel Saturday Kapanen (visa) is expected to travel to Pittsburgh on Saturday, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Based on the NHL protocols, if Kapanen arrives in Pittsburgh on Saturday, which would see him miss the first two games of the season for sure. Depending on how much practice coach Mike Sullivan feels that 24-year-old winger needs, it could be even longer. In his stead, Evan Rodrigues is set to slot into a first-line role alongside Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel.

Will miss season opener Kapanen (immigration issues) will miss at least the first game of the season for the Penguins, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact It was thought that Kapanen may get back from Finland and complete his seven-day quarantine in time to suit up Jan. 13, but it looks like his Penguins debut is going to be delayed. The 24-year-old winger should slide directly into the top six upon his arrival after scoring 36 points last season.

Dealing with immigration issue Kapanen is still in Finland due to an immigration issue, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact General manager Jim Rutherford isn't sure when Kapanen might arrive, but he'll have to quarantine for at least seven days after he lands in Pittsburgh, so he could end up missing most, if not all of training camp. That's not an ideal situation for a player that will need time to build chemistry with Sidney Crosby on the Penguins' top line. Another update on the former Maple Leaf should surface once he's able to make his way to the United States.
