Penguins Game 7, Finding Stability: Lines, Notes, & How to Watch vs. Blackhawks

The Pittsburgh Penguins (3-2-1) open a four-game road trip on Tuesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks (1-5-0). Looking to establish stability after an inconsistent start, Pittsburgh enters following a 2-1 shootout victory over the Dallas Stars. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks are anticipated to welcome back Connor Bedard for his season debut following off-season shoulder surgery, alongside veteran Patrick Kane.

Penguins head coach Dan Muse has yet to confirm his starting goaltender between Arturs Silovs and Sergei Murashov. Forward Andrei Kuzmenko is expected to return to Pittsburgh's lineup after fully practicing on Monday, while Elmer Soderblom is likely sidelined. Spencer Knight is the projected starting goaltender for Chicago.
