Joona Koppanen

27-Year-Old Left WingLW
Pittsburgh Penguins
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.

November 6, 2025
Koppanen was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Koppanen is likely to serve as an emergency depth option for the Penguins ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Capitals. If the winger does play, it may come at the expense of Ville Koivunen or Filip Hallander. Still, Koppanen's promotion gives the Pens a 13th healthy forward on the 23-man roster. In the minors this year, Koppanen has generated just one goal and one assist in six minor-league tilts.

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.
