Head coach Mike Sullivan stated that even though the preseason is still early, there are several qualities they expect all of their players to exhibit in these contests, most notably the "foundational habit" of competitive spirit.
"The expectation is if you become a Pittsburgh Penguin, that you're gonna be a fierce competitor," he said. "That manifests itself in a number of different ways on the ice. It's in one-on-one battles, puck battles along the wall, wall play, net-front play. Can you play when you're tired, or do you just give in?"
The Penguins take on the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center tonight at 7:00 PM ET to begin their preseason schedule. Locally, the game will air on SportsNet Pittsburgh and be broadcast on 105.9 'The X,' the official flagship radio station of the Penguins.
This series of moves and the upcoming game underscore the Penguins' strategic preparations and adjustments as they aim for a competitive edge in the upcoming season.
