The Pittsburgh Penguins are scheduled to start goaltender Artus Silovs Tuesday in their season-opening game, a road contest against the New York Rangers.
Coach Dan Muse announced Silovs’ status to media outlets in New York following an optional morning skate at Madison Square Garden according to one of the team’s social media accounts.
Silovs, a rookie, is a newcomer to the Penguins who acquired him in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks on July 13.
