He also played in 24 American Hockey League games and scored 13 points (five goals, eight assists) with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

Puustinen previously played for Finland on the international stage, most recently in the 2021 IIHF World Championship. In two matches that year, he had no points.

He will join Penguins forward Jesse Puljujarvi, who was previously selected to the Finnish National A-team roster for the EHT event, while Penguins forward Radim Zohorna was selected to the Czech Republic roster.

In addition, Penguins defensemen Erik Karlsson and Marcus Pettersson had already been named to the Swedish roster for the IIHF World Championship Tournament.
