The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Egor Zamula from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for forward Philip Tomasino on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Zamula will be assigned to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton of the American Hockey League.<\/p>\n
A left-handed shot, Zamula has split the season between the NHL and AHL levels. With the Flyers, he appeared in 13 games and has one assist while averaging 14:02 of ice time per contest.<\/p>\n
After clearing waivers on Dec. 19, Zamula was assigned to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the AHL and appeared in three games for that club, posting two assists.<\/p>\n
Zamula, 25, is in the final year of a two-year contract with a salary cap hit of $1.7 million. While he is assigned to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton, $1.15 million of his salary cap hit will be excused from the books for the NHL club per league rules.<\/p>\n
He is a pending unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason.<\/p>\n
A native of Chelyabinsk, Russia, the undrafted Zamula has spent parts of six seasons in the NHL, all with the Flyers.<\/p>\n
Tomasino\u2019s tenure with the Penguins comes to an end after little more than a calendar year.<\/p>\n
Acquired in a trade from the Nashville Predators on Nov. 24, 2024, Tomasino split this season between the NHL and AHL rosters.<\/p>\n
Opening the season on the third line of the NHL club, Tomasino appeared in nine games and recorded one assist.<\/p>\n
A healthy scratch for 12 games, Tomasino was placed on waivers on Nov. 18. After clearing, he was assigned to Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton on Nov. 24 (exactly one year after he arrived via trade).<\/p>\n
With the AHL club, Tomasino was productive. Primarily skating in a top-six role, he generated 15 points (five goals, 10 assists).<\/p>\n
This past offseason, the Penguins re-signed Tomasino to a one-year contract worth $1.75 million. He is a pending restricted free agent after this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Egor Zamula from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for forward Philip Tomasino on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381733,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-381732","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-nhl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381732","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381732"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381732\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381732"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381732"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381732"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
