At long last, hockey season is back.
On Friday, the Pittsburgh Penguins released their training camp schedule for 2025-26. It begins next week on Thursday, Sept. 18, and all sessions are open to the public and free of charge. All practices and morning skates will take place at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry, Pa., and camp runs through through Oct. 1.
The Penguins' first pre-season game will be in Montreal to face the Canadiens on Sept. 22 at 7:00 p.m. They will play seven pre-season games, the last of which will be against the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo on Oct. 3 at 7:00 p.m. One of the games will also feature Penguins' goaltending legend Marc-Andre Fleury, who signed a professional tryout contract (PTO) with Pittsburgh and will appear in a pre-season game on Sept. 27 versus the Columbus Blue Jackets.
