The Penguins' six-game preseason schedule will open on Sept. 16 at Penn State's Pegula Ice Arena against the Sabres, the Penguins announced on Tuesday.
The preseason opener will be considered a home game for the Sabres, who are owned by the Pegula family that helped build the Penn State hockey program and new arena. The Penguins and Sabres played a preseason game in State College last season as well.
“We know the atmosphere at Pegula Ice Arena will be loud and we look forward to putting on a great show for all of the NHL fans in Hockey Valley," Sabres general manager Jason Botterill said in a Penn State release.
