Ruck Twins Drafted by Penguins, Charting a Joint NHL Path

Twin brothers Liam and Markus Ruck were both drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2026 NHL Draft—Liam No. 22 overall in Round 1 and Markus No. 39 in Round 2—making them the first twins drafted by the same team since the Sedins in 1999. They plan to return to Medicine Hat for the 2026-27 season before joining UND in 2027, with Sidney Crosby welcoming them and the Penguins outlining development plans to boost their strength, skating, and on-ice smarts as they pursue a shared NHL path.

Penguins snag Liam Ruck at 22, betting on a high-energy two-way forward

The Pittsburgh Penguins used their first pick of the 2026 NHL draft to select forward Liam Ruck from the Medicine Hat Tigers (WHL) at 22nd overall. Ruck is described as a high-motor, two-way right-shot winger with a quick-release shot and strong net-front instincts who can contribute on the penalty kill and potentially the power play, though his skating is below average. He’s committed to the University of North Dakota for the 2027-28 season. San Jose moved up to 21st before Pittsburgh’s pick, and there is speculation about keeping the Ruck twins together with Markus at later rounds.
