In addition to the Washington Capitals games, several other matchups on the ESPN+ Pittsburgh Penguins schedule are worth noting.
One highlight is the December 6, 2024, game against the New York Rangers, a consistently intense rivalry for the Penguins. This will mark the second time former Penguin Reilly Smith faces off against Pittsburgh, and this time, the game will be played in New York.
The 2025 schedule also features some intriguing matchups, including a showdown with the Boston Bruins. The Bruins will be relying on goaltender Jeremy Swayman after trading Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators.
Fans should also keep an eye on the New Jersey Devils game on March 15, 2025, and the April 8, 2025, contest against the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Devils have improved their net by acquiring goaltender Jacob Markstrom, while the Blackhawks game will feature another exciting matchup between Calder Trophy winner Connor Bedard and Penguins' captain Sidney Crosby, who recently ranked 10th in the NHL's 200 Fantasy Hockey Players.
Overall, the ESPN+ Pittsburgh Penguins schedule offers a strong lineup of games that should make the service well worth the subscription for fans this season.
