More hockey against the Red Wings.
The postponement of Saturday’s preseason game against the Detroit Red Wings to Monday means the team’s second preseason game against the Red Wings on Tuesday concludes a back-to-back set of games.
Three games in three days is not ideal for any team, but such is life for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Both teams traveled from Detroit to Pittsburgh for Tuesday’s contest. The puck drops at 7 p.m., and for those interested, the game will be available to watch locally on SportsNet Pittsburgh. Fans can also tune in to 105.9 ‘The X’ for radio coverage.
Below is the Penguins’ scheduled lineup for Tuesday night’s game.

McGroarty and Ponomarev look to be the lone holdovers from Monday night’s lineup as both prospects continue to make their case for an opening night roster spot.
Overall, it’s a good mix of NHL regulars, promising prospects, and AHL-bound players. Following this game against the Red Wings, the Penguins will have two preseason contests remaining—a back-to-back set against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 3 and Oct. 4—before finalizing rosters ahead of the regular season opener against the New York Rangers on Oct. 9.
Welcome to October, Penguins fans.
