The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired forward Philip Tomasino, a former first-round draft pick, from the Nashville Predators on Monday for a fourth-rounder in the 2027 NHL Draft.
Tomasino, 23, has one assist in 11 games this season. He has totaled 71 points (23 goals, 48 assists) and 41 penalty minutes in 159 games in parts of the last four seasons for Nashville, which selected him 24th overall in 2019.
He is signed at an average annual value of $825,000 at the NHL level and can be a free agent at the end of this season.
In a corresponding move, the Penguins re-assigned forward Sam Poulin, 23, to AHL affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Poulin, who was the 21st overall pick in the 2019 draft to Pittsburgh, has one assist in six games with the Penguins this season.
