The Pittsburgh Penguins made a trade earlier in the week.
The player they acquired still hasn't shown up.
The player: Egor Zamula.
The Penguins got him from the Philadelphia Flyers.
And on Saturday, NHL insider Frank Seravalli reported that the Penguins have suspended Zamula for failure to report to AHL Wilkes-Barre.

It's not exactly clear what's going on here.
It doesn't seem like a great look for the Penguins or for Zamula, though.
Hopefully for everyone's sakes, they get this resolved.
But for now, it's a wait and see situation with the Penguins and their new defenseman.
