In 31 NHL games this season, Penguins forward Radim Zohorna has seven points (four goals, three assists).

The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward Radim Zohorna on waivers Tuesday afternoon.

Should he go unclaimed by 2 p.m. Wednesday, he can be assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Zohorna, 27, was previously waived Oct. 8. Going unclaimed, he was assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton by Oct. 9 and since then, he has been shuffled between the NHL and AHL rosters a handful of times.

In 31 NHL games this season, Zohorna has seven points (four goals, three assists) while logging 10:04 of ice time per game. With Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, he has played in two games with no points.

Primarily deployed among the team’s bottom-six forwards, Zohorna (6-foot-6, 220 pounds) is signed to a one-year, two-way contract that carries a salary cap hit of $775,000.
