PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on PGHHockeyNOW.com.
After a spectacular performance Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Penguins (1-0-0) make their home debut Saturday against the young but very good Montreal Canadiens (1-0-0) at PPG Paints Arena.
The puck drops just after 7 p.m.
The Penguins hung seven goals on the hated Philadelphia Flyers Wednesday. A couple of first-period goals became a few second-period goals and then a couple of later goals in the third period amounted to a 7-0 win at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
Penguins Game Notes
Three Penguins remain on injured reserve: Bryan Rust, Justin Brazeau, and Ben Kindel, but Kindel is expected to be activated before the game.
The Penguins have won seven of their last nine games against Montreal (7-2-0), dating back to Dec. 13, 2023. The Penguins have won four of the last five games against Montreal at PPG Paints Arena.
Andrei Kuzmenko will likely make his Penguins debut. He returned to the team Friday.
