Valtteri Puustinen scored his first power-play goal for Pittsburgh in the game against Minnesota, contributing to the team's effort despite the loss.

Valtteri Puustinen has been scratched for all six games so far this season, but there is a call for him to be included in the lineup, particularly on the third line. With the Penguins' top line struggling, there’s a suggestion that giving Puustinen a shot could provide a much-needed spark as the team looks to make adjustments during their upcoming road trip.

Surprised but pleased to see Valtteri Puustinen still on the roster, there were expectations he might be traded. The hope is that he receives quality ice time to enhance his value for a potential future trade, although concerns remain about his fit on a team that is already small both physically and tactically.

Valtteri Puustinen contributed to the Penguins' 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets by scoring one of the team's goals. His performance added to the offensive depth as the team rallied from a 1-0 deficit. Puustinen's ability to find the net in key moments showcases his potential impact as the Penguins head into the regular season.
