With training camp just about a week away, it’s time to take a look at the players who will be vying for spots on the 2026-27 Pittsburgh Penguins! Hunter and Patrick begin the Monday edition of Locked On Penguins by breaking down all of the goaltenders in the system, and they start with the NHL guys. (1:30) With Sergei Murashov expected to make the team and begin his NHL journey, he’ll be competing with Arturs Silovs, who signed a one-year prove-it deal. Who will take the reins this year? Then, they pop down to Wilkes-Barre to talk about two goalies who might not be getting enough attention: Taylor Gauthier and Joel Blomqvist. (13:45) While Murashov stole the headlines last year, Blomqvist put together a quietly solid campaign. Behind him is Gauthier, who has consistently been one of the better ECHL goalies.

Patrick Damp and Hunter Hodies continue the Locked On Penguins Summer Catch-Up Series on the Wednesday episode by discussing the re-signings that were made by the Penguins' front office this summer. They begin the episode with an all-second-line discussion, going over the re-signings of Evgeni Malkin, Egor Chinakhov, and Tommy Novak. All three forwards had big years in 2025-26, so are they poised to repeat that success? They talk about how they think they're poised for another big year. (0:00) Then, they talk about the head-scratching re-signing of Ville Koivunen to an 8-year, $4 million per year contract. While it's a calculated risk for the Penguins, it still leaves the Penguins with more questions than answers. They also discuss goaltender Arturs Silovs and forward Connor Dewar. (14:36) Finally, with the big guns returning for another year, what is the expectation for Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Erik Karlsson, and Kris Letang in 2026-27?

Fresh off a Jack Adams Award nomination, Penguins’ head coach Dan Muse will look to follow up a great rookie season in 2026-27. What will he need to do? Hunter and Patrick discuss that on the Monday edition after he exceeded all expectations in his debut season. He’ll have to focus a lot on development and getting the most out of some veterans while making his presence more known around the league. (2:20) Then, the Penguins still have a massive logjam at forward as camp inches closer, so how will they make sure they have enough players to stay competitive without losing some veterans for nothing? (14:00) Finally, over the weekend, the Penguins finalized their minor league coaching staffs; they take a look at some of the names who will hopefully be guiding the next generation of Penguins.

(1:25) They break down the deal, why he signed for that much, and what it means for him and the organization moving forward.
