Pittsburgh Penguins goaltending development

Overview

The Pittsburgh Penguins are entering the 2026-27 NHL season with a focus on developing young goaltending talent. Following the departure of Stuart Skinner, General Manager Kyle Dubas has opted not to pursue veteran replacements, instead relying on Arturs Šilovs and Sergei Murashov.

During the NHL preseason, Šilovs has indicated he feels more mature and prepared for his second season after overcoming travel-related issues. Despite a challenging preseason performance where he faced 23 shots and recorded a 69.6% save percentage, head coach Dan Bylsma defended the goaltender, noting his progress since the previous season.

As the team approaches the regular season, the Penguins’ ability to compete for a postseason spot remains heavily dependent on the development and performance of these young goaltenders.
