The Penguins on Wednesday placed Matt Nieto on waivers, where he will remain until 2 p.m. on Thursday. If Nieto clears, he will be eligible to be sent down to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton at that time.
The Penguins are currently at the 23-man roster limit. If Nieto clears and is sent down or is claimed that will open up the necessary roster spot to activate Boko Imama from injured reserve. If he is claimed, that would also open up a contract spot and bring the Penguins down to 48 of their 50 allotted slots.
