The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Egor Zamula in a trade with the Metropolitan Division-rival Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.

Pittsburgh sent forward Philip Tomasino to Philadelphia in the swap.

Zamula, 25, was squeezed out of the Flyers’ defense rotation in his sixth NHL season. The Russian recorded one assist and averaged 14:02 of ice time in 13 games prior to being waived and reassigned to the American Hockey League in mid-December.

Zamula is signed through the end of the season with his contract’s average annual value $1.7 million. He totaled eight goals and 41 points in 168 career games with the Flyers, who inked him as an undrafted free agent in 2018.

Tomasino, 24, signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract and opened the season with Pittsburgh but notched just one assist in nine games before being demoted to the AHL in mid-November.

Tomasino has 34 goals and 95 points in 218 career games with the Penguins and Nashville Predators (2021-24), who drafted him in the first round (24th overall) in 2019 and dealt him to Pittsburgh in 2024.

The Flyers (20-11-7, 47 points) entered Wednesday as the third-place team in the Metropolitan Division. The Penguins (17-12-9, 43 points) were two points back of the Eastern Conference playoff cutline.
