Well, it looks like at least one of the twins will be donning the black and gold. 

With their 22nd overall selection in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, the Pittsburgh Penguins selected right wing Liam Ruck from the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL. Ruck, along with his twin brother, Markus, put up massive numbers in the WHL last season with 45 goals and 104 points in 68 games, while Markus had 21 goals and 108 points in 68 games playing on the same line. 

Both Liam and Markus are committed to the University of North Dakota for the 2027-28 season, as they each plan to play for Medicine Hat in 2026-27.

The 6-foot, 183-pound forward is a dangerous offensive player, and he has some speed to boot. But the most lethal weapon is his shot, which is, arguably, one of the best in the 2026 class. The Penguins are getting a sniper with Ruck, and if his brother is selected in the second round at 39, many have compared their connection and chemistry to that of the Sedin twins.

The NHL Draft continues Saturday with rounds 2-7. The Penguins still have their 39th, 54th, 86th, and 170th selections for the time being.
