Egor Zamula Clears Waivers, Joins Free Agent Pool
Egor Zamula has cleared waivers and re-entered the free agent pool, just five days following his trade from the Philadelphia Flyers to the Pittsburgh Penguins. This transition highlights Zamula’s desire to quickly return to the NHL and further his hockey career.
Egor Zamula’s Career Movements
Zamula, a 25-year-old forward, had a short stint this season with the Flyers. He played 13 games, where he managed to record one assist. In addition to his time in the NHL, he also played three games for the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms, contributing two assists to his team’s efforts.
