Early on Saturday, coach Mike Sullivan hinted his lineup for tomorrow’s 12 PM matinee preseason game at home against the Detroit Red Wings would have a lot more veteran players. He wasn’t kidding, below is the roster the Pens have announced. Other than subbing in Zach Aston-Reese (currently out with COVID) for Sam Lafferty and then Juuso Riikola out for Marcus Pettersson (who played 24 minutes in Friday night’s game), this could basically be a dress rehearsal for the Penguins.
Forwards:
9 - Evan Rodrigues
10 - Drew O’Connor
11 - Brian Boyle
16 - Jason Zucker
17 - Bryan Rust
18 - Sam Lafferty
23 - Brock McGinn
42 - Kasperi Kapanen
43 - Danton Heinen
53 - Teddy Blueger
59 - Jake Guentzel
77 - Jeff Carter
Defensemen:
2 - Chad Ruhwedel
5 - Mike Matheson
6 - John Marino
8 - Brian Dumoulin
50 - Juuso Riikola
58 - Kris Letang
Goaltenders:
30 - Louis Domingue
35 - Tristan Jarry
Sullivan announced that Jarry will play the full game after the goalies have split time evenly, as planned, in the first two preseason games.
