How Harkins’ Turnaround Invigorated the Fourth Line

PITTSBURGH, PA – Jansen Harkins wasn’t great in his start to this NHL season.

Harkins, claimed by the Penguins off waivers from the Jets toward the end of training camp, earned a roster spot after a brief audition in the tail end of the preseason. But after four lackluster games where he wasn’t much of a factor on either side of the puck, he was put back on waivers and sent down to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton after he cleared.
