@bobgrove91 Tonight marks the 18th season in which Sid, Geno and Letang have played together, establishing a North American pro record. Previously they shared the mark with the Yankees’ Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada (1995-2011). Grateful to have witnessed the magic.

@FriedgeHNIC Mike Sullivan says Jake Guentzel will play tonight
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Oct 10, 2023
@mattvensel Jake Guentzel is on the top power play unit again, as well. Sure looks like he's playing tomorrow in the season opener.
@mattvensel Letang on the switch: "The natural position for me is at the top. I was put in a spot where I was learning and getting better every day. Obviously, Jake is coming back. And he's a key player on this power play. ... We have so many good players, there will be some moving pieces." https://t.co/2EppKfl6b0
@TimCBaines Doesn't sound like there is a timeline on return of Josh Norris to #Senators lineup. Coach D.J. Smith: "At this point, I'm being told he's just unable to play. With injuries, things happen sometimes where maybe it didn't rehab quite the way they had expected." #NHL
@PensInsideScoop Jake Guentzel (offseason ankle surgery) has changed into a regular black jersey at Penguins practice. Before today, he had been skating in a white no-contact jersey since joining his teammates for the first time on Sep. 29. We'll get updates on where he's at after practice.

@PensInsideScoop Mike Sullivan said the placement of guys on that top PP unit will be a work in progress. "I think you'll see a lot of motion. Sometimes you might see Kris up top and Erik on the flank. But I think having those two right-handed shots give us a little bit of a different look, maybe… https://t.co/v6DmM85JX0

@wyshynski Mike Sullivan tells me that the @penguins are ready to unleash Karlsson and Letang on the same power play.“The power play is very important to Erik and Kris. So we’ll start with both of them on the top unit. And so we'll see how it goes. We've got a lot of options."

@JoshYohe_PGH Sullivan says it’s a fair assessment that Guentzel will miss approximately the first five games of the season. Were that the case, he would be due to return around Oct. 24 against Dallas, give or take a few days.
