Penguins Prospects Fall Short in 4-0 Preseason Loss to Blue Jackets

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost 4-0 to the Columbus Blue Jackets in a preseason game on September 24, 2026, at Nationwide Arena. The Penguins fielded a roster dominated by prospects and young players, while Columbus utilized a veteran-heavy lineup. Despite controlling puck possession in the first period, the Penguins' defensive errors led to three goals, with a fourth added late in the third. Sergei Murashov started in goal, and the 'Kids' line of Rutger McGroarty, Tristan Broz, and Ville Koivunen showed improvement as the game progressed. The loss marks the Penguins' third preseason game, following a 7-4 defeat to Detroit and a 4-1 win against Buffalo. The regular season begins in six days against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Werenski Watch: Eight Teams Circling Columbus as Trade Talk Heats Up

Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski, the Norris Trophy winner who won’t re-sign with the Jackets when his contract ends in 2028, has trade talks starting to pick up. GM Don Waddell is seeking an NHL-player–heavy package (not futures) and has spotlighted eight potential destinations—Philadelphia, Dallas, Carolina, San Jose, Toronto, Boston, Anaheim, and Detroit—each evaluated for fit and return:value. With Werenski’s no-move clause until 2027 (and a 10-team no-trade window after) and Kirill Marchenko’s looming free-agent status, Columbus could pivot to a high-priced, roster-strengthening deal rather than a rebuild, following a Nash-era blueprint of demanding impact players in return.
