The Penguins kick off their exhibition schedule today, and the only thing better than one hockey game is — you guessed it — two hockey games.
At 1:00pm, the Pens will host Columbus, which could be confused at 7:00pm when Pittsburgh visits the Blue Jackets. It’s a split squad day, meaning that from coaching staff to trainers to players will be divided up. Some will hit the road, some will stay at home.
Here’s the rosters:
