Recalled Tuesday Koppanen was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton under emergency conditions Tuesday.
Impact Koppanen's promotion to the NHL roster could be an indication that there is another forward injury other than Thomas Novak (lower body).

In his 53 minor-league outings, Koppanen has generated six goals and 15 helpers.

On waiver wire Koppanen was waived by Pittsburgh on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Koppanen was a long shot to make the 23-man roster for Opening Night in the first place, so his waiver designation shouldn't come as a surprise. The 26-year-old Finn has managed just nine NHL games in his career, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to make much of an impact during the 2024-25 campaign.

Sent down Friday Koppanen was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Impact Koppanen's demotion is likely a technical move to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs and could be brought back up ahead of Saturday's clash with Boston. At this point, look for players like Koppanen to get extended looks down the stretch as the Penguins turn their attention toward the 2024-25 campaign.
MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Joining NHL roster Koppanen was elevated from AHL WIlkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
Impact Koppanen could be immediately pressed into service against the Jackets on Tuesday depending on the availability of Jansen Harkins (upper body). With the Penguins expected to ship out at least one forward, if not more, ahead of Friday's trade deadline, Koppanen may not have to return to the minors this season and could finish the campaign in the NHL.
