Called up by Pittsburgh Clurman was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.

Impact Clurman spent a day with Pittsburgh last week but didn't make his NHL debut. However, he'll rejoin the Penguins after Owen Pickering (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday. Clurman has recorded a goal and four assists over 18 appearances in the AHL this year, and he'll likely serve as an extra defenseman during his time on the NHL roster.

Sent back down Clurman was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

Impact Clurman spent one day on the NHL roster, but he's no longer needed in Pittsburgh after the team traded for Pierre-Olivier Joseph. The 26-year-old Clurman will have to wait for another time for a chance to make his NHL debut.

Called up from minors Clurman was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.

Impact Clurman's promotion comes as fellow blueliner Marcus Pettersson (lower body) was designated for injured reserve in a corresponding move. Even with his elevation to the NHL roster, the 26-year-old Clurman is unlikely to jump into the lineup immediately versus the Kings on Tuesday. Selected by the Avs in the sixth round of the 2016 NHL Draft, Clurman has yet to log an NHL games, playing exclusively in the AHL and ECHL since leaving Notre Dame after three seasons back in 2020-21.

Waived Friday Clurman was placed on waivers by Pittsburgh on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Assuming he clears, Clurman will link up with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the upcoming 2024-25 campaign. Given his limited offensive upside, he managed just five points in 37 games with AHL Colorado last year, it's hard to see the 26-year-old defenseman breaking into the Pens' lineup this season.

Grabs one-year deal Clurman signed a one-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Monday.

Impact Clurman was selected by the Avalanche in the sixth round of the 2016 NHL Draft but has yet to make his NHL debut. The 26-year-old blueliner contributed just five points in 37 games for AHL Colorado last year, so he is unlikely to offer much in the way of offensive upside even if he does get called up by the Penguins at some point during the 2024-25 campaign.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Inks one-year deal Clurman signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche on Tuesday.

Impact Clurman had three goals and 12 assists while playing in a career-high 57 games for AHL Colorado in 2022-23. This move is little more than taking care of organizational depth for the Avalanche -- Clurman has yet to make his NHL debut after he was selected in the sixth round in 2016.
