Tuesday, the <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/tag\/pittsburgh-penguins\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> placed Philip Tomasino on waivers. <\/p>\n<p>The league\u2019s broadcast rights holders reported the move, as the Penguins do not usually announce waiver moves. <\/p>\n<p>The Penguins acquired Tomasino, 24, last November from the Nashville Predators. Following the season, he was a restricted free agent. Penguins general manager <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/tag\/kyle-dubas\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kyle Dubas<\/a> signed him to a one-year, $1.75 million contract. <\/p>\n<p>However, Tomasino failed to establish himself as a regular in the lineup and was too often invisible when he was. In nine games this season, Tomasino registered one assist. <\/p>\n<p>If he clears waivers on Wednesday at 2 p.m., the Penguins can assign him to the Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton Penguins, where recent Penguins players Ryan Graves and <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/tag\/tristan-jarry\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tristan Jarry<\/a> have resurrected their careers. <\/p>\n<p>Tomasino has played in 218 games, scoring 34 goals with 95 points. <\/p>\n<p>Tuesday, the Penguins announced they recalled forward Sam Poulin from WBS and placed Ville Koivunen on injured reserve. <\/p>\n<p>If Tomasino clears, the Penguins can stash $1.15 million of his salary in the minors, reducing his NHL cap hit to $600,000. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTags: <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/tag\/penguins-news\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\">Penguins news<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/tag\/philip-tomasino\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\">Philip Tomasino<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/tag\/pittsburgh-penguins\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"categories\">Categorized: <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghhockeynow.com\/category\/penguins-news\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\">Penguins News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the end, it was a predictable move born of production or lack thereof.
