Pittsburgh Penguins Rookie Koivunen Sidelined with Lower-Body Injury

Stockholm, Sweden – The Pittsburgh Penguins will be without rookie winger Ville Koivunen for their Sunday matchup against the Nashville Predators in Stockholm as part of the NHL Global Series. The team announced early Sunday morning that Koivunen is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

Koivunen left Saturday’s practice prematurely, with the nature of the injury remaining undisclosed until the official announcement.

The Finnish forward has one assist and six shots on goal in his last four games, bringing his season totals to two assists and 14 shots in 11 games. Primarily playing on the fourth line, his absence is expected to be filled by Danton Heinen, who has played in three games this season without recording a point.

While Koivunen is still adjusting to the NHL, the Penguins are eager to have him back in the lineup. He boasts an impressive track record, leading the AHL in points-per-game and demonstrating consistent scoring ability in both the AHL and Finland’s Liiga. He posted 21 goals and 56 points in 63 games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins last season.

Coaches and fans alike anticipate Koivunen will soon find his scoring touch in the NHL. A scoring breakout this season seems inevitable. No timeline has been announced for Koivunen’s return.
