Ville Koivunen’s Unexpected Return: What His Practice with Tristan Broz Means for Penguins’ Next Game
It’s been 11 days since Pittsburgh Penguins forward Ville Koivunen last played in a game.
He played in the first NHL Global Series game against the Nashville Predators in Sweden before getting banged up. He was eventually placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury and designated as “week-to-week.”

Koivunen is back at practice this week and was taking line rushes on the third line with Tristan Broz and Tommy Novak on Tuesday. Assuming Koivunen gets cleared to return on Wednesday against the Buffalo Sabres, he’s excited to get the chance to play with Broz after the two were teammates in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last year and a little bit this year.
