On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Penguins made some roster decisions – both for their training camp roster and for their next pre-season game.
Earlier in the day, it was announced that forward Travis Hayes was assigned to his junior team, the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL. Hayes was selected in the fourth round (105th overall) of the 2025 NHL Draft, and he is the younger brother of Penguins’ forward prospect Avery Hayes, who remains on the training camp roster.
In addition to the roster trim, the Penguins also announced their roster for Wednesday’s tilt against the Columbus Blue Jackets, which will be their second game of the pre-season.
It will feature mostly fresh faces in comparison to the players from their 2-1 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday, but there are a few carryovers. Dressing for the second consecutive pre-season game are forwards Tristan Broz, Ben Kindel, and Atley Calvert as well as defenseman Connor Clifton. Otherwise, it’s a new cast of characters.
Here is the full lineup for Wednesday’s game at Nationwide Arena in Columbus:
