Latest news

  • Koivunen scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

    Koivunen scored for the first time since Opening Night, securing the win at 3:44 of the extra session. The 23-year-old winger is still working on consistency in the NHL despite receiving an eight-year contract extension in August. He's logged five points, 11 shots on net, six PIM and a plus-5 rating over 10 appearances this season, primarily in a middle-six role.

  • Koivunen tallied a goal, posted a plus-three rating and put two shots on net in Wednesday's 7-0 Opening Night win over the Flyers.

    Koivunen found the scoresheet early in 2026-27, scoring the Penguins' second goal of the night in the team's big win. Wednesday's tally was the third goal of his NHL career after he posted two goals and seven points across 39 regular-season outings in his rookie campaign. Koivunen drew his Opening Night appearance on Pittsburgh's third line. While he might be worked around the lineup once Bryan Rust (upper body) and Justin Brazeau (lower body) return from injured reserve, Koivunen is expected to have a role at the NHL level this season, even if he has a stint in the minors.

  • Koivunen (upper body) will be in the lineup when Pittsburgh faces Columbus on Thursday.

    Koivunen played in 39 regular-season outings for Pittsburgh last year, notching two goals, five assists and 36 shots while averaging 12:44 of ice time per game. A strong showing in the next two preseason games could cement the 23-year-old winger on the Opening Night roster, though he's far from a lock.

  • Koivunen is dealing with an upper-body injury and won't play versus Detroit on Tuesday.

    Koivunen was expected to make the Opening Night roster against the Flyers on Sept. 30, but that could now be in doubt after he picked up his upper-body problem. If Koivunen is out long-term, it could open up a spot on the roster for Avery Hayes or Filip Hallander.

    RotoWire via ESPN · Sep 22

  • Koivunen agreed to terms on an eight-year, $32 million contract with Pittsburgh on Thursday.

    Considering Koivunen has logged just 47 career games in the NHL, the term on his new deal is somewhat surprising. The 23-year-old winger should be in the mix for an Opening Night roster spot heading into the 2026-27 campaign, but he could still end up in the minors at some point, making him a somewhat risky fantasy option.

    RotoWire via ESPN · Aug 6

  • Koivunen scored twice and added an assist in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 8-1 win over Springfield in Game 5 on Saturday.

    Koivunen hadn't earned a point in the first four games of the series. He broke out to get WBS to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 3-2 series win. Koivunen has produced three goals and four assists across nine playoff contests this year.
