The Penguins completed their transactions this morning to really set their lineup for the start of the season.
Additional updates: Evgeni Malkin has been placed on long-term injured reserve. Sidney Crosby’s status has been changed to injured non-roster. Zach Aston-Reese has been added to the NHL’s COVID protocol list.

There is a lot to unpack here. The NHL mandates that teams be salary cap compliant by yesterday at 5 PM. Pittsburgh complied, and technically moved Angello and O’Connor to the AHL in transactions done on paper.
