Pittsburgh's schedule features some noteworthy home games that fans will want to circle on their calendar:
The Penguins' schedule has 12 sets of back-to-back games, beginning Oct. 13-14 in Washington and at home against Calgary, respectively.
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.
