Joona Koppanen News: Still with NHL club

Koppanen hasn't been reassigned to the minors yet despite passing through waivers, and he's practicing with the team Wednesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Koppanen could be in action versus Washington in the season finale Thursday if Kevin Hayes, who missed practice for a maintenance day, is unable to suit up. In his 10 NHL games this year, the 27-year-old Finn has generated just one goal on nine shots but dished out 34 hits to add some physicality to the roster.
