April 17, 2025 Koivunen registered two assists, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Capitals. - Koivunen had a hand in both of Bryan Rust's tallies in the contest. This was Koivunen's first multi-point effort in the NHL. The 21-year-old picked up seven assists, including three on the power play, and added 15 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over eight appearances late in the season. It's likely he'll return to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for that team's playoff run, but Koivunen should have an inside track to the NHL in 2025-26. None

Keep an eye on Koivunen in training camp for next season, as he seems poised to make the full-time NHL leap soon. None

Koivunen needed just two NHL games to earn his first point after racking up 55 points over 62 games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He'll likely return to the minor-league team for its playoff run.

March 7, 2024 Koivunen, Michael Bunting, Vasily Ponomarev, Cruz Lucius, a conditional 2024 first-round pick and a conditional 2024 fifth-round pick were traded from the Hurricanes to the Penguins on Thursday in exchange for Jake Guentzel and Ty Smith, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports. - Koivunen has been tearing it up in Finland's Liiga, racking up 21 goals and 34 assists over 57 contests for Karpat. The 20-year-old winger was drafted in the second round in 2021, and he's the biggest prospect involved in the return for Guentzel. Koivunen is likely still a year or two away from serious contention for an NHL job, but he should be involved early on if the Penguins embrace a rebuild. None
