Forward Radim Zohorna on waivers
The Pittsburgh Penguins have made a significant roster move, placing forward Radim Zohorna on waivers.
Zohorna, 27, faced scratches in four of the team's last six games, signaling a potential change.
While defenseman Chad Ruhwedel is sidelined due to injury, this move opens up an opportunity for the Penguins to call up a defenseman in Zohorna's place at the NHL level.
Despite setting career highs with four goals and seven points in 31 games this season, Zohorna finds himself on waivers.
His improved offensive contributions couldn't secure his spot, leading to this unexpected decision.
The 6-foot-6 forward, with an affordable $775,000 cap hit, might attract interest on the waiver wire for teams seeking forward depth. Zohorna's career spans 66 games across the Penguins, Calgary Flames, and Toronto Maple Leafs, accumulating nine goals, nine assists, and an impressive plus-15 rating.
The question now looms � Could the Bruins take a chance on him?
