Edmonton Oilers’ Finnish defenseman Atro Leppänen has passed through the NHL waiver wire without any takers.
NHL reporter Elliotte Friedman confirmed the news on Sunday. Leppänen will continue his games in the AHL.
The 27-year-old defenseman’s start to the season has been sidelined due to injury. Last season, he played 53 games in the farm league, scoring 38 points.
Leppänen made history in the 2024–25 season with Vaasan Sport. He broke the league’s record for points by a defenseman in a single season, collecting an impressive 63 points in 60 games.
