Penguins acquire forward Philip Tomasino from Predators for draft pick

The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded for forward Philip Tomasino from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round draft pick. This marks the second trade by general manager Kyle Dubas in two weeks. Tomasino, a 23-year-old former first-round pick, has scored 23 goals in 159 NHL games. He is expected to practice with the Penguins on Tuesday and could play in Wednesday's game against the Vancouver Canucks. Tomasino's versatility allows him to fit into various forward positions, likely strengthening the Penguins' struggling offense. He is currently on a contract worth $825,000, making him a cost-effective addition.
