One player who has not been seen much throughout training camp and the preseason is Patric Hornqvist. In what appears to be the final stages of recovering from off-season hand surgery, the Pens are ‘hopeful’ Horny can suit up for opening night. [Trib Live]

Jake Guentzel burst onto the scene last year and found near-instant chemistry with Sidney Crosby. After a scorching hot postseason run and now leading the NHL in preseason points, expectations are incredibly high for #JakeAndBake. [Trib Live]

With Matt Cullen and Nick Bonino departing in the off-season, the Pens were left with holes to fill, not only with their center depth, but there were also holes left in the penalty-killing unit. Enter Scott Wilson and Ryan Reaves? [Post-Gazette]

Before preseason and training camp, not many were familiar with the name of Greg McKegg. Now, with the regular season less than a week away, how did McKegg become the (likely) 3C? [Post-Gazette]

With a new season in front of him, Carl Hagelin is feeling refreshed and ready to go. [Penguins]

The crease now belongs to Matt Murray as the Penguins aim for a three-peat. [TSN]
