BREAKING: Penguins Place Defenseman on Waivers
Earlier today, the Pittsburgh Penguins made a surprising roster move.
Penguins Place Friedman on Waivers
As reported by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Pittsburgh Penguins have placed Mark Friedman on waivers.
This season, Friedman played in 23 NHL games and tallied three points (one goal and two assists) and 15 penalty minutes. He also has a +2 goal differential.
In early 2021, Ron Hextall made his first move as the Penguins' GM when he acquired the 27-year-old off waivers from the Philadelphia Flyers.
Friedman has cleared waivers three times this season; in October and in February at the trade deadline.
The Penguins made this move because defenseman Marcus Pettersson is expected to be activated from long-term injured reserve (LTIR) ahead of the team's regular-season finale against Columbus on Thursday night.
We'll know by tomorrow afternoon if he clears waivers.
