Suddenly, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been bitten by the injury bug, but it presents an opportunity for one of their top prospects! Patrick and Hunter begin the show with the surprise news from Tuesday night that the Penguins put several players on injured reserve, including goaltender Tristan Jarry, which means top goaltending prospect Sergei Murashov will get a shot at the NHL level. They discuss what these moves mean for the team, as they also include the recall of defenseman Ryan Graves and forward Danton Heinen. (0:00) Then, they get some more answers as to what the lineup will look like moving forward, as Hunter gives us his notes from practice. They also quickly look at some comments by Kyle Dubas in The Athletic, specifically what captain Sidney Crosby’s future is in Pittsburgh. (13:52) Finally, it’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time to give out the Locked On Penguins MVP of the week in Warrior Helmet Wednesday!

Really thought they should have given Larsson a call and let murashov continue to dominate the AHL. Don't see them using him much so he'll just be sitting there.
Kindle needs to be at 3c I don't understand putting him on Sids wing, just doesn't make sense.
I just started to realize today that injuries are starting to become a problem.. Hopefully we can get the w tomorrow night against the hated capitals… Love the Jersey quack quack
Pat is that a vintage ducks jersey or a Jamaican national team jersey?
Im going to the Thursday i want Murashov to start Thursday

OHHHHHH, Ive been waiting for Murashov since summer 2024!!!! Man, this is exciting. Thanks for the great show guys. Blessings, Victor 🙏
Does anyone know what the status on Rutger Mcgroarty is and when he should be expected back?
Kindel only has goals cuz his line mates don’t know to finish. It will be interesting to see him now on the top line to see how well he does. What a great steal! Also can’t wait to see murashov play.
I don’t get, if you need a third line center, why Broz wasn’t called up. Heinen has played center for 10 games and Broz is the best center left in Wilkes. I understand Heinen had more points but this is about development, not winning, at least I hope. Also think those are not incompatible and Broz might be better. We know what Heinen is
I'm really excited to see Sergei Murashov up here. I cannot wait to see him start a game. I also am fine with Danton Heinen and Ryan Graves coming up here. I will say, I've always been a fan of Danton Heinen he's like a swiss army knife that you can put anywhere in your lineup. He's a prototypical bottom 6 guy, but can play top 6 in a limited capacity if need be. You can use him on the PK and second PP unit. Also, he has a sneaky good shot also. The only thing I will say about Heinen, he is streaky. When he's hot, the goals come in bunches, but when he's cold, he goes stone cold.
As far as Graves goes, I am curious to see how he does from his time Wilkes Barre and how he might fit playing on the third pair under Dan Muse's system. I'm not saying he will be rehabilitated, but curious to see how he plays under a new coach and spending time in the minors.
Play the younger played boy Hayes or Heinen
Look at kindel …don’t be a mike Sullivan and play the so called veterans
The Graves and Heinen callups make sense. Heinen's leading the AHL in scoring and Graves was the most productive defenseman on WBS. This is a good period for showcasing players for trades prior to Christmas.
Oh boy please mention something about the baby pens blowing the 3-0 lead in the 3rd against the marlies tomorrow 😂😂 it's to funny to not bring up!!
Sergei Murashov is supposed to be the goalie of the future. My son & I will be coming to Pittsburgh from Ontario, Canada on Nov 21 & Nov 22. Hoping to meet some players like Crosby, Malkin ect…have no idea where to meet them. Hopefully the Pens can get back on track again. Would love to see back to back wins while in attendance. This will be my 2nd and 3rd game live in Pittsburgh (5th game overall).
I got a ducks jersey same as you.. Do any of you guys play hockey in a men’s league or anything? Go Pens!!
Excited to see what Murashov can do! So here’s a question that came up on Josh Yohe’s show about Brunicke: Would it be possible that they could send him to the AHL at some point AFTER he plays 10 games and burns the first year of his ELC or is it completely impossible (aside from AHL conditioning stint) for him to play for WBS while his junior team is playing?
Kinda sucks not to see brozzer, other than that, just excited to see kindel with crosby for a game or two. Any idea if kevin hayes is playing tn?
The way fans on social media talk up Murashov (i get it so far has been impressive), but let’s not act like he is Hasek 2.0 already😂
These backward hat kids should not be taken seriously.
