2025 Fantasy Outlook

Koppanen saw action in a career-high 11 NHL games for the Penguins last season, producing one goal on 10 shots, 40 hits and three blocks while averaging 13:23 of ice time. The 27-year-old winger was slightly more productive in the minors with 23 points in 56 regular-season contests. Considering the Finn signed a two-way deal with the Pens, he figures to once again split his time between leagues and likely has fallen behind some of the team's more recent draft picks, which means Koppanen won't be a strong option in fantasy.

PIT

On waivers

LWPittsburgh Penguins Minors

December 5, 2025

Koppanen (illness) was placed on waivers Friday, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

ANALYSIS
Koppanen missed Thursday's 4-3 win over Tampa Bay due to an illness, but rather than rejoin the team, he's now on track to either head to the minors or be claimed. The 27-year-old has an assist in 10 appearances with Pittsburgh this season. The Penguins previously waived Koppanen on Oct. 2, and he went unclaimed, so it's likely he'll the same will happen this time, and he'll report to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

BOS

Making NHL debut

LWBoston Bruins Minors

January 11, 2023

Koppanen will make his NHL debut against the Kraken on Thursday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

ANALYSIS
Koppanen earned his promotion to the NHL with five goals and 14 assists in 34 games for AHL Providence this season. The 24-year-old Finn will slot into a fourth-line role where he likely won't see much in the way of minutes. As such, Koppanen figures to be a low-end fantasy target.
