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.

Illness
December 3, 2025
Koppanen will not practice Wednesday due to an illness, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Koppanen was a healthy scratch against the Flyers on Monday, so his potential absence may not impact the Penguins' lineup versus the Lightning on Thursday. Still, if the 27-year-old winger is unable to travel with the team, it could force the club to bring up another forward from the minors to give Pittsburgh a healthy extra player for its two-game road trip.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Making NHL debut
LWBoston Bruins
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.
