Silovs stopped 24 of 25 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Stars.
Silovs got the nod in the second half of a back-to-back and held his ground in a close game. The 25-year-old netminder has won three of his four outings this season, but he's been all over the map in terms of performance. He's allowed 11 goals on 96 shots, but 10 of those tallies against have come in just two of the starts. Sergei Murashov has provided more predictable work so far, but both goalies will get their fair share of playing time this year. The Penguins are set for a three-game road trip over the next week, which begins in Chicago on Tuesday. It also features a back-to-back in Colorado on Friday and in Vegas on Saturday, which will allow both goalies to get work.

Penguins' Connor Dewar: Pots goal Saturday
Rotowire
Dewar scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Stars.
Dewar opened the scoring at 1:57 of the third period for his first point of the campaign. The 27-year-old has filled a steady fourth-line role to open 2026-27, providing some physicality from that spot. Over six games, he's supplied eight shots on net, 10 hits, four blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Dewar is unlikely to repeat his 30-point effort from 78 regular-season games a year ago, and his fantasy value is limited to deep banger leagues.

Penguins' Caleb Jones: Delivers trio of helpers in AHL win
Rotowire
Jones notched three assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-1 win over Hartford on Saturday.
Jones looks set to spend most or all of this season in the AHL. He has some NHL experience, so he could be a call-up option at some point, but he's logged just 13 regular-season games in the NHL over the previous two campaigns. If he gets a call-up, it will be to serve as a depth defender.

Penguins' Avery Hayes: Puts up three points Saturday
Rotowire
Hayes scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-1 win over Hartford on Saturday.
Hayes was a breakout player last year with 39 points over 42 regular-season games for the Baby Pens. The 24-year-old forward has kept it up with five points over three games to start this season. Hayes got some looks with the Penguins down the stretch in 2025-26 and could be a call-up candidate if injuries strike for the big club.

Penguins' Bill Zonnon: Logs three points in AHL win
Rotowire
Zonnon scored twice and added an assist in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 7-1 win over Hartford on Saturday.
Zonnon has earned four points and a plus-5 rating over three games this season. He had seven points in 11 playoff games for the Baby Pens back in the spring, so his success at the AHL level should come as no surprise. He will get some time to dominate in the minor league before eventually working his way into contention for a call-up to Pittsburgh.
Penguins' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Exits lineup Saturday
Rotowire
Van Riemsdyk (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Stars.
Van Riemsdyk got banged up a bit in Friday's game versus the Blue Jackets and will sit out the second half of the back-to-back. His absence will allow Spencer Stastney to make his Penguins debut. Van Riemsdyk is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Blackhawks.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Tending twine Saturday
Rotowire
Silovs will protect the home net against Dallas on Saturday, according to Josh Getzoff of SportsNet Pittsburgh.
Silovs won his first two games of the 2026-27 campaign before allowing five goals on 27 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Washington. Dallas is off to a 2-2-0 start this campaign, scoring just 10 goals in four games.
Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Deposits goal in shootout loss
Rotowire
Malkin scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Malkin had four points over the first two games of the season, but his offense cooled off with the rest of the Penguins' decline in scoring over this week. The 40-year-old has three goals, two assists, 11 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over five outings this season. Malkin can still chip in fairly well, but he may be prone to some fluctuations on offense despite a steady second-line role.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Tallies again Friday
Rotowire
Rust scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Rust has goals in consecutive contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. He was on the first line from the start of Friday's game, and that's likely where he'll spend the bulk of 2026-27. Rust has two goals, five shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over his two outings so far this season.

Penguins' Sergei Murashov: Tested often in shootout loss
Rotowire
Murashov stopped 43 of 45 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Murashov was kept busy in this outing, but he was able to steal a standings point with a good performance. The 22-year-old netminder has allowed just five goals on 80 shots over two outings this season, but he has a 0-1-1 record to show for it. Murashov and Arturs Silovs may settle into splitting the workload if both are playing well. Expect Silovs to get the nod for Saturday's home game versus the Stars.

Penguins' Ilya Solovyov: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Solovyov was put on waivers by Pittsburgh on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Solovyov made Pittsburgh's Opening Night roster, but he was a healthy scratch for the Penguins' first four games. He's expected to be sent to the minors to get playing time if he goes unclaimed. The 26-year-old had a goal and eight points in 30 regular-season appearances between Colorado and Pittsburgh in 2025-26.

Penguins' Sergei Murashov: Exits ice first
Rotowire
Murashov was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road against Columbus.
Murashov will make his second appearance of the year after giving up three goals on 35 shots in a loss to Winnipeg on Monday. With Arturs Silovs underwhelming, he's posted a 3.37 GAA across three games; the door is open for the 22-year-old Murashov to see more opportunities in the crease for the Penguins.
Robertson scored a goal and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
Robertson opened the season in a more prominent role, but the return of Bryan Rust (upper body) bumped him down to the fourth line. With three goals over four contests, Robertson has done his part so far. He has added seven shots on net, two blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-3 rating. The 25-year-old may get moved around the lineup depending on how the Penguins' lines shake out through the campaign.

Penguins' Thomas Novak: Scores again in loss
Rotowire
Novak scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
Novak has had a strong start to the year while centering the second line. He has three goals, two assists, eight shots on net, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over four appearances. Novak has topped the 40-point mark in three of the previous four years, so he's definitely worth considering in fantasy, though his contributions will be mostly limited to points and shots.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Pots goal in season debut
Rotowire
Rust scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.
Rust missed the first three games of the season due to an upper-body injury. He also looked to labor a couple of times during the contest, but he was taking top-line shifts by the end of the game. Rust was initially used on the third line with Ben Kindel and Ville Koivunen, but his long-term chemistry with Sidney Crosby makes it virtually inevitable Rust will officially move up soon. The winger had 65 points over 72 regular-season outings in 2026-27, including a career-best 24 power-play points, so he should be a productive player in fantasy.
