Pittsburgh Penguins project goaltending tandem for 2026-27 season

Summary

As training camps approach, the Pittsburgh Penguins have finalized goaltending projections for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Artūrs Šilovs and Sergei Murashov are expected to head the tandem following the departure of Stuart Skinner. Šilovs' recent playoff performance boosted his standing, while Murashov, highly regarded within the organization, will compete for a spot. With strong AHL numbers, Murashov is anticipated to join Šilovs in securing NHL roster positions. Other prospects like Joel Blomqvist and Taylor Gauthier remain in contention for the available goaltending spot should Murashov falter during training camp.
