Can Harrison Brunicke make another run at the NHL roster this season? We’ll find out in the preseason
The Penguins have announced their preseason schedule. As usual, there’s home and home games with nearby NHL cities in Detroit, Columbus and Buffalo. As usual, the exhibition schedule is way too long. As out of the norm, the Penguins will be in Montreal for a standalone game, weirdly enough.
The first of the games are in T-minus three months based on the September 22nd start date.

Pretty standard stuff, no split-schedule action with multiple games on the same day. No crazy non-NHL venues this fall either.
From the team:
The Penguins will play seven pre-season games prior to the start of the 2025-26 season – four on the road and three at home at PPG Paints Arena.
The team opens the pre-season north of the border in Montreal on September 22 before heading to Columbus on September 24.
Pittsburgh returns to PPG Paints Arena for back-to-back home games against Detroit and Columbus, on September 26 and 27.
Following the two-game homestand, the team will play their final two road games of the pre-season on September 29 and October 1 against Detroit and Buffalo, respectively.
The Penguins wrap up the pre-season as they return home to host Buffalo on Oct. 3.
Pre-season television and radio information will be released at a later date.
