Former Penguin Colby Armstrong will join Paul Steigerwald and Bob Errey as special guest analyst for tonight’s Penguins’ preseason home opener against Carolina, which will be televised by Pittsburgh’s CW (WPCW). Game time is 7 p.m. at CONSOL Energy Center.
It’s a unique way of re-introducing Armstrong, who was a fan favorite as a winger with the Pens from 2005-08. Having recently moved back to Pittsburgh, he will assist the Penguins in several capacities this season, from occasional broadcasts to community and fan relations. He also will work as a commentator/analyst for NHL rightsholder SporstNet in Canada.
