Set for free agency
Bemstrom will not be qualified by the Penguins on Monday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, making him an unrestricted free agent.
ANALYSIS
Bemstrom saw action in 14 NHL games this past season in which he garnered just one assist, 13 shots and 12 hits while averaging 8:20 of ice time. Given his limited NHL opportunities last year, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the Pens going in a different direction. The 26-year-old center will be free to sign with any NHL club when free agency opens Tuesday.

Following his trade to Pittsburgh, Bemstrom saw action in 24 games for the Penguins in which he generated three goals, two assists and 34 shots on net while averaging a meager 8:47 of ice time. Initially, it looked like the organization was going to let the forward walk in free agency when it didn't offer him a qualifying offer, but the two sides came back to the table and agreed to a one-year, $775,000 contract. Even with a full preseason to work with his teammates, Bemstrom is far from a lock to make the Opening Night roster and could spend some time in the minors with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. When Bemstrom does suit up, it figures to be almost exclusively in a bottom-six role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Seemingly called up
Bemstrom's gear was in the locker room ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Flyers, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports, indicating he was recalled from the minors.
ANALYSIS
Bemstrom has appeared in just two NHL games for the Penguins this year, during which he logged 12:14 of ice time per game while generating zero points, two shots and a minus-1 rating. It will likely come down to Bemstrom or Bokondji Imama for one spot in the lineup against Philadelphia on Thursday.
