One of the key dates on the schedule for the Penguins is their home game against the Vegas Golden Knights. It’s the only chance of the year Pittsburgh fans get to see franchise icon former goalie Marc-Andre Fleury play in Western Pennsylvania all year. This season, the event happens early, this Thursday in just the Pens’ third game of the year.
However, the schedule is also the reason that (per the Athletic $) unless you’re looking at the bench, you’re not going to see Fleury. As we pointed out recently, Vegas has quite a heavy east coast road trip that they’re in the middle of currently.
