He was later traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins on December 31, in exchange for forward Philip Tomasino. However, his time with Pittsburgh has been marred by controversy.
Recent Developments
Shortly after joining the Penguins, Zamula was suspended due to his failure to report to the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. His struggles this season included just one assist in 13 games with the Flyers and two assists in three games with the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
