Pittsburgh Penguins News & Notes:

The Penguins recently placed Emil Bemstrom on NHL waivers, and he went unclaimed, being assigned to the AHL. Today they called up Joona Koppanen.

Eyes on the Penguins and their goaltending situation, Tristan Jarry could be on the move this Summer after Kyle Dubas recently commented on his future with the organization.

St. Louis Blues News & Notes:

St. Louis’ 10 game winning streak is nothing short of impressive. They continue to turn up the heat on the Minnesota Wild, who seem to be in jeopardy of losing the first Wild Card position. For St. Louis, it’s the difference of facing the Winnipeg Jets or the Vegas Golden Knights.
