BOKONDJI IMAMA NEWS

Placed on waivers by Pittsburgh Imama was placed on waivers by the Penguins on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Imama signed a two-way contract with the Penguins at the beginning of July, and he was unable to secure a spot on the team's Opening Night roster. Assuming he clears waivers, he'll likely spend most of the year in the AHL.

Signs two-year pact Imama secured a one-year, two-way contract from the Penguins on Monday.

Impact Imama has featured in only 15 NHL games over the past three seasons, including six appearances with Ottawa last year in which he notched 22 hits, one block and one shot while averaging 5:35 of ice time. Considering the 27-year-old winger's AHL numbers aren't all that impressive, he tallied 10 points in 53 regular-season games for AHL Belleville, it's unlikely he will contribute any significant minutes with Pittsburgh this upcoming year.
