Penguins Game Notes:

The Penguins trimmed the camp roster down to 47 players on Monday. Peter Abbandanato was released from his PTO, and defenseman Mark Pysyk was placed on the injured list.

Tuesday, Sullivan said Pysyk was out “longer term” but did not specify the injury or if Pysyk would remain with the team.

Last season, the Penguins earned points in two of three games (1-1-1) and averaged 4.33 goals per game. In three games against the Red Wings in 2022-23, Jeff Carter led all Penguins with four points (2-2-4).

Correction: The next preseason game is Thursday vs.Buffalo at PPG Paints Arena. Then the Penguins are on the road. The fifth preseason game is Oct. 2 vs. the Ottawa Senators at 6:00 p.m. at Scotiabank Centre in Halifax.
