Penguins debut four rookies in high-stakes NHL clash with Sabres
The Pittsburgh Penguins will see several fresh faces on Wednesday night as they take on the Buffalo Sabres. Rookie Tristan Broz is set to make his NHL debut, while a handful of teammates could also return or feature for the first time this season. The team’s lineup is shaping up with key players nearing recovery from injuries and call-ups from the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (WBS).
Broz, who has tallied 13 points (8 goals, 5 assists) in the AHL this season, will step onto NHL ice for the first time. His performance in the minors has placed him third in scoring for WBS, earning him the call-up. He won’t be alone—fellow WBS forwards Sergei Murashov, Joona Koppanen, and Ville Koivunen are also in line for their NHL debuts or returns.
Wednesday’s game will mark a significant moment for Broz and his WBS teammates as they step into the NHL spotlight. With Jarry’s return between the pipes and Koivunen’s potential comeback, the Penguins are regaining key players at a crucial point. The matchup against Buffalo now carries added interest as the new-look roster takes the ice.
