If you're a fan of keeping tabs on Pittsburgh Penguins' prospects, you may want to circle Sept. 11-15 on your calendar.
On Monday, those four days in mid-September were announced as the official dates for the annual Prospects Challenge – hosted by the Buffalo Sabres – and the Penguins will, once again, be a participant. The Sabres, Boston Bruins, Columbus Blue Jackets, and New Jersey Devils will also showcase their prospects at the challenge.
At last season's Prospects Challenge, the Penguins walked away as the only team with a 3-0 record. They will look to do the same this year as they take on the Bruins on Sept. 12, the Blue Jackets on Sept. 14, and the Sabres on Sept. 15.
The 2025 Prospects Challenge is set for September 11-15! 🏒

Last year, the Penguins sent some of their top prospects – including Rutger McGroarty, Tristan Broz, Owen Pickering, and Harrison Brunicke – to the challenge, and they figure to do the same thing this season. While those players will likely all return, there will probably be several new faces.
2025 first-round picks Ben Kindel, Bill Zonnon, and Will Horcoff – among all 13 other 2025 draftees – all participated for the first time in a Penguins' uniform at development camp July 3-7. Several of them figure to feature at the Prospects Challenge as well.
Full rosters will be announced at a later date. The full schedule for the Prospects Challenge can be found here.
