Kasperi Kapanen gearing up to make season debut Tuesday

After getting a final clearance in the form of a fourth negative COVID test on Sunday, Kasperi Kapanen skated on his own just before the rest of his new team played a game against the Capitals.

It looks like that will be the last time that Kapanen won’t be available to the Penguins due to his ended work visa and quarantine saga.

Kapanen wasn’t able to make it into Pittsburgh from his native Finland until last week, due to securing the proper paperwork.

“Around October, [the team] told me that I got to apply for my new visa,” Kapanen said on Monday.
