The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced the jersey numbers for the newcomers to the roster.
As the heat of free agency cools, the Pittsburgh Penguins are pretty close to having their roster set for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
One small order of business that needed to be handled, however, was figuring out what number the new Penguins will be wearing.
It was finally released what numbers the newcomers will be wearing at the NHL level and there was even a number change with an existing member of the team.
In numerical order, new numbers on the Penguins roster include:
No. 5, defenseman Ryan Shea
No. 9, forward Marc Johnstone
No. 11, forward Alex Nylander (new number)
No. 15, forward Joona Koppanen
No. 19, forward Reilly Smith
No. 20, forward Lars Eller
No. 27, defenseman Ryan Graves
No. 39, goalie Alex Nadeljkovic
No. 45, goalie Magnus Hellberg
No. 55, forwad Noel Acciari
No. 63, forward Radim Zohorna
No. 83, forward Matt Nieto
Nylander is changing his number after dawning 19 in his first run at the NHL level with the Penguins.
The No. 19 will now be worn by Smith who wore it for his six seasons with the Vegas Golden Knights.
When Ryan Graves was a member of the Colorado Avalanche, he wore the number 27, but had to switch to 33 with the New Jersey Devils.
Acciari sported the number 55 through the first 307 games of his NHL career with the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers, but had to switch to 52 with the St. Louis Blues and Toronto Maple Leafs.
