2024-25 Penguins’ Lineup Project: First Pairing, Left defenseman

The big change comes in the bottom-six where a slew of new faces brought in this offseason will drastically alter the makeup of the third and fourth lines heading into next season and will hopefully produce better results than last season.
Drew O’Connor - Sidney Crosby - Bryan Rust
Michael Bunting - Evgeni Malkin - Rickard Rakell
Anthony Beauvillier - Kevin Hayes - Valtteri Puustinen
Blake Lizotte - Lars Eller - Noel Acciari
