    Penguins Place Mark Friedman on Waivers

    The Pittsburgh Penguins will likely have Marcus Pettersson back for the final game of the year.

    Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby talks about his team's need to stay prepared despite the uncertainty surrounding their playoff chances.

    PITTSBURGH - There is one game remaining in the Pittsburgh Penguins 2022-23 season, but they are still making adjustments to their roster.

    The Penguins have placed defenseman Mark Friedman on waivers, likely ahead of Marcus Pettersson’s return to the lineup.

    Friedman has played a good chunk of the season at the NHL level with 23 games played, three behind his career high of 26.

    In those 23 games played, Friedman has scored a goal and two assists for three points and averaged a career high 14:27 minutes of ice time per game.

    Friedman has also played in 24 game at the AHL level in the 2022-23 season and recorded a goal and five assists.

    This move likely signals the return of Pettersson to the lineup after he has missed time on long-term injured reserve.

    Pettersson has been out of the lineup since March 18 with a lower-body injury.

    Prior to his injury, Pettersson has been having an outstanding season, spending time on the first defensive unit on multiple occasions.

    In 67 games played, Pettersson has recorded a goal and 23 assists for 24 points.
