Pittsburgh added some grit on Monday by signing 27-year-old Bokondji Imama to a one-year, two-way contract. The 27-year-old appeared in six games with Ottawa in 2023-24, but failed to pick up a point while adding seven PIMs and averaging 5:25 TOI/GP.

With Ottawa's season wrapped up, Imama has been reassigned to the AHL. Imama played six games with Ottawa this season but spent most of the 2023-24 campaign with the Belleville Senators (AHL), scoring 10 points (3G / 7A) in 53 games.

Imama will be the odd-man out on Tuesday when the Senators travel to Boston for their regular season finale. Zack Ostapchuk will draw into the lineup in his place.

Imama had five goals, 10 assists, 109 PIMs and a +3 plus/minus with the Tucson Roadrunners (AHL) in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 with Ottawa. The 26-year-old left-winger also appeared in five games for Arizona last season but failed to pick up a point to go along with his five PIMs and -2 plus/minus. He brings a goal, 10 PIMs and nine games of NHL experience to the Senators.

Imama has five goals, nine assists, 101 PIMs, and a +7 plus/minus through 45 games with Tucson (AHL) and has been recalled to Arizona Monday. The 26-year-old returns to Arizona, where he failed to pick up a point across five games played with five PIMS and a -2 plus/minus.

O'Brien has been sidelined by an upper-body injury since February 26th but will play Wednesday in Dallas. O'Brien will replace Bokondji Imama in the Coyotes' bottom-6.

With Jay Beagle (lower-body) and Nick Ritchie (upper-body) both hurt, Imama could make his NHL debut on Friday. The 6-foot-1, 221 lbs. winger has scored five goals with seven assists (12 points) and 178 PIMS in 54 games with Tucson this season.

Imama was originally a sixth-round pick of the Lightning in 2015 but was traded to the Kings before he turned pro. The 24-year-old winger spent all of 2021 in the AHL, where he had nine goals and five assists (14 points) in 31 games for Ontario (AHL). He'll likely report to Tucson (AHL) to start 2021.
