by from on (#15GQ7)
The Pittsburgh Penguins and Arizona Coyotes have made the first trade of the day.
The Penguins sent forward Sergei Plotnikov to the Coyotes for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2017 and minor leaguer Matthias Plachta.
LW Sergei Plotnikov's two-way deal expires after this season. Plotnikov (25) is making $925K per @generalfanager. He'll be an RFA.
