RADIM ZOHORNA NEWS

Inks overseas deal Zohorna agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Swiss club HC Lugano on Thursday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Impact Zohorna played in 33 regular-season games for the Penguins last year in which he generated four goals, three assists and 38 shots while averaging just 9:46 of ice time. Undrafted coming out of the Czech league, the 28-year-old winger spent four years trying to make it in North America but will now return to Europe to extend his playing career.

Returns to AHL Zohorna was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.

Impact Zohorna has concluded the NHL campaign with four goals and seven points in 33 contests. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is set to advance to the postseason, so the 27-year-old will help the club in that quest. Zohorna has nine goals and 25 points in 29 games with the minor-league squad.

Minimal production this year Zohorna played in a career-high 33 games for the Penguins this season in which he generated four goals and three assists.

Impact Zohorna played in 29 games during the first two months of the season but was only able to earn four appearances at the NHL level once the calendar turned to 2024. If he's willing to sign a two-way deal, it's possible the Penguins will bring back the 27-year-old unrestricted free agent this summer.

Recalled from minors Zohorna was elevated from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

Impact Zohorna will trade places with Samuel Poulin, who was sent down in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old Zohorna has played in 31 NHL games this season, registering four goals on 38 shots, three assists and 42 shots while averaging 10:04 of ice time. The move is likely more about getting Poulin ice time after he served as a healthy scratch for the previous three games. Still, Zohorna could challenge the likes of Jesse Puljujarvi or Emil Bemstrom for a spot in the lineup against the Wings on Thursday.

Placed on waivers Zohorna landed on the waiver wire Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Zohorna was a healthy scratch for four of the Pens' last six games, so the decision to drop him from the lineup shouldn't come as a surprise. Assuming he clears, the 27-year-old winger figures to be reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. With the extra roster spot, Pittsburgh will likely bring up a defenseman after Chad Ruhwedel (undisclosed) was injured Monday and put Colin White in Zohorna's spot on the third line.
