The Pittsburgh Penguins made several roster moves ahead of their game against the Utah Mammoth, activating forward Justin Brazeau from injured reserve and assigning him to the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on a conditioning loan. Brazeau, 28, has not played this season due to a lower-body injury sustained in the preseason. The Penguins also placed Elmer Soderblom on injured reserve and reassigned Avery Hayes and Chase Pietila to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Pittsburgh general manager Kyle Dubas is open to trade offers for veteran players, including Rickard Rakell, Bryan Rust, Erik Karlsson, and Kris Letang, as the team evaluates its roster. Karlsson, 36, is on a point-per-game pace and has a $10 million cap hit this season, with unrestricted free agency approaching next summer. All but Rust have some form of no-trade protection, and all but Karlsson are signed through 2027-28.
