Joona Koppanen: Headed back to Europe

Rotowire5 days ago

Koppanen agreed to terms on a contract with Swedish club Lulea HF on Monday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Analysis:

Koppanen appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Penguins this season but was limited to one assist. The 28-year-old winger added seven shots and 11 hits while averaging 12:08 of ice time. At this point, the Finn will be hard-pressed to get another NHL opportunity, having logged a total of 33 regular-season games and producing just three points, and he figures to play the rest of his career overseas.
