Pittsburgh Penguins reveal lineup for their preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jackets

For their next to last preseason game, the Pittsburgh Penguins travel to Columbus to face-off against the Blue Jackets.

After losing their preseason game at home on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings, the Penguins are looking to bounce back tonight.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are on the road facing the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena, a team coming off a strong win against the St. Louis Blues. The Blue Jackets are looking to give a strong final push as they're playing in their final preseason game before the regular season commences.

With Nedeljkovic sidelined, the depth of the Penguins' goaltending is put to the test early.

After playing in his native Finland, the 22-year-old is starting his second professional hockey season in North America. Blomqvist is coming off a tremendous rookie campaign with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, getting named an AHL All-Star.

In relation to resiliency, Jarry, a 2013 second-round selection by Pittsburgh who is in his second season of a five-year contract, is expected to recover from a challenging year for the Penguins. Though he struggled with consistency, Jarry became the first goalie in Penguins history to score a goal and was tied for the NHL lead with six shutouts.

We won't be seeing any of the veterans for tonight's game as the Penguins and head coach Mike Sullivan are testing the young guns before the season begins. With many injuries piling up it's safe to say, they don't want to risk losing any more star players.

Checkout the lineup for the Penguins' preseason game below:

This is the lineup that the Penguins are facing off:

In this game, Columbus has chosen to go with a more star-studded lineup, which will put some of Pittsburgh's young players to the test.

The Penguins' stars are reportedly going to play in the "dress rehearsal" game on Friday, but that doesn't mean there aren't any interesting storylines in Thursday's game.

The game will be accessible on the Pittsburgh Penguins website, and the puck will drop at 7:00 p.m. Fans can tune in to the game on 105.9 the X and the Penguins app. There's no coverage on television.
