Another year, another special Canadian preseason game for the Penguins
Preseason game details unveiled
Ahh August, the last full month of the NHL summer. We’ll soon make it back to the season, one way or another. With September will come training camp and the start of exhibition games, and the Pittsburgh Penguins found out some details about one of their games.
We’re pleased to announce that the City of Elliot Lake will host our @NHL preseason game between the @Senators and the @penguins at the Sudbury Community Arena on September 29th!

Maybe not as meaningful as last year’s pre-season game in Sidney Crosby’s hometown of Halifax, but a nice little change up for a Canadian “back to your roots” type of game that will take the Pens out of the usual NHL arena for a night.
These September trips into Canada are becoming a regular thing, for years the Pens have settled into a routine of home-and-home games against three of the closest teams to them geographically (Columbus, Buffalo and Detroit). Those games are still scheduled but lately a little spice and flavor to the exhibition schedule has been added by the Pens seeming to often prticipate in the Kraft Hockeyville series or other one offs in smaller non-NHL arenas.
This year it’ll be in Sudbury and give that community and opportunity to see some Penguin players up
