Jesse Puljujarvi earns a spot on the Penguins opening night roster

If there was one standout this preseason it was Jesse Puljujuarvi and he made a statement to end training camp! Patrick and Hunter are back to close out the preseason talking about the Penguins' back-to-back victories over the Columbus Blue Jackets. They discuss a great preseason for Puljujarvi and how he has, in their eyes, solidified a spot on the opening night roster, what to do with Rutger McGroarty, and if Ryan Graves might be a lost cause at this point. Finally, they wrap up the show talking about the biggest question coming out of camp - should Harrison Brunicke make the team and get a nine-game tryout? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

The Penguins have just two preseason games left and plenty of questions to be answered! Patrick and Hunter get you ready for the first game of a back-to-back with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night by talking about who they'll be watching going into the final two games of the preseason. That includes who they think has to make an impression, who might be on the way out, and which players are poised for a breakout. We now have a little bit more clarity on Erik Karlsson as he finally got back onto the ice on Thursday with just six days to go until the regular season. Finally, Penguins' goaltending prospect Sergei Murashov started two games for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and looked quite good in the process. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

The Pittsburgh Penguins' 18-year-old defensive prospect Harrison Brunicke continues to impress and that has Hunter and Patrick wondering if he's ready for primetime. The two discuss what has been a breakout camp and preseason for the young defenseman and if the Penguins should consider giving him a nine-game trial or even a spot for the whole year. The two go back and forth on the topic before moving on to the power play and how there continues to be a lot more movement, emphasis on net-front play, and less static play. They discuss how the process continues to be there but it has to translate over to the regular season. Finally, the injury bug is back...as if it went anywhere. The Penguins have a swath of injuries, including to Alex Nedeljkovic, which will put more pressure on Tristan Jarry to start the year. They also dive into an update on Erik Karlsson's status before ending the show.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

The preseason battle for the last roster spot or two is heating up and it doesn't look like it's going to slow down anytime soon! Hunter and Patrick discuss how Jesse Puljujjarvi, Valtteri Puustinen, and Cody Glass are all showing that they belong on the opening night roster, but who is going to win out? Will this go all the way until the end? After that, they discuss some of the other standout performances from this game, including Drew O'Connor, Lars Eller, and Noel Acciari. They dive into how DOC has taken the top six job and run with it during the preseason while giving Eller and Acciari their flowers for how they played. Finally, they get you set for the Penguins' third preseason game in three days on Tuesday as they'll play the Red Wings once again.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.

They discuss how there's a battle brewing between 3-4 forwards for 1-2 spots before ending the show with an update on Erik Karlsson.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are set for their second preseason game on Tuesday night and a lot of eyes will be on one defenseman in particular. Hunter and Patrick get you ready for the rematch against the Buffalo Sabres where it will be a mostly minor league lineup for both squads. Then, they talk about some comments from defenseman Ryan Graves, who is looking to recover from a pretty disastrous first season with the Penguins. They discuss how he'll be getting more reps with Jack St. Ivany, which could be the third pair to start the year and how needs to feast with this matchup. Finally, power play work has begun in training camp and early returns are good. That said, can they last and will the players buy in?
