Penguins Make Minor Trade, Swap Forwards

The Pittsburgh Penguins executed a minor trade Thursday that is unlikely to affect the NHL roster.

The organization dealt Corey Andonovski from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to the St. Louis Blues organization in exchange for 24-year-old forward Mathias Laferriere.

Andonovski, 25, was an undrafted college free agent from Princeton who signed with the Penguins in 2021. He has not made his NHL debut. He’s only played 27 games this season, scoring three goals with five points.

Laferriere, 24, is a 6-foot-2, 181-pound forward who was St. Louis’s sixth-round pick in 2018. He has played 33 games with the Springfield Thunderbirds this season, tallying two goals, eight assists, and 10 points. Laferriere makes $775,000 at the NHL level.
