Fans can also highlight January 2 on their calendar when the Penguins will skate outdoors for the sixth time in franchise history when they face the Boston Bruins at Fenway Park in the 2023 Discover Winter Classic. Puck drop for the 15thanniversary of the NHL’s Winter Classic is set for 2:00 PM.

The Penguins’ schedule has 15 sets of back-to-back games, beginning Oct. 24-25 in Edmonton and Calgary, respectively. Last season, Pittsburgh went 13-5-4 in back-to-back situations.

Pittsburgh will face each Metropolitan Division opponent four times (two home/two road), each Western Conference opponent twice (one home/one road), and each Atlantic Division opponent three times. The lone exceptions in the Metropolitan Division is that Pittsburgh only travels to Philadelphia once, and only hosts Washington once. Half of the Atlantic Division foes visit Pittsburgh twice (Boston, Ottawa, Tampa Bay and Toronto), while half host the Penguins twice (Buffalo, Detroit, Florida and Montreal).
