Penguins Place Jansen Harkins On Waivers

October 19, 2023 at 1:06 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 4 Comments

The Pittsburgh Penguins have placed forward Jansen Harkins on waivers for the purpose of assignment to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports.

This could end an extremely short stint in Pittsburgh for the 26-year-old. He began training camp as a member of the Winnipeg Jets, who waived him at the beginning of the month, and Pittsburgh snapped him up off waivers. Just over two weeks later, he finds himself on the wire again.

Harkins had averaged just 9:28 per game through four contests with Pittsburgh despite playing a third-line role with Lars Eller and Drew O’Connor, but Eller is the only player out of that trio who had managed to get on the scoresheet – just one assist. In fact, Eller is the only member of the Penguins’ bottom six to register a point this season. The entire fourth line remains scoreless through four contests.

The North Vancouver native had just five points in 22 games with Winnipeg last season but quite impressive numbers in the minors. With the AHL’s Manitoba Moose, Harkins notched 50 points in 44 games, his second time breaking the point-per-game plane in the AHL.

Manitoba is where he could continue his season if the Jets attempt to reclaim him on waivers and are the only team to do so. In that case, Winnipeg could send him directly to the minors without risking his rights on waivers again. If any other team puts in a claim, he will need waivers to head to the minors.

    From what I saw he wasn’t awful, but obviously wasn’t producing either. Dubas isn’t going to sit idly by and watch the bottom six be an anchor so it makes sense he’s the first to go. Carter has the NMC, OConner will get a longer look since he’s younger, Eller, Accari, and Nieto have been good on the PK.

    Bet good money Chevy claims him back for the Jets. I don’t think there’s a team in thd NHL that brings back familiar faces more than Winnipeg

    Pens should have kept Austin Wagner

      He’s still a free-agent, so they could still sign him if they want. If Harkins gets claimed that might be what they do to backfill depth.
