The Penguins pulled off a dominant 3-0 win over the New York Rangers in the 2025-26 season opener! Patrick and Hunter begin the show by breaking down the Penguins' dominant performance in New York City. They talk about how Dan Muse's system stymied the Rangers in all three zones, played solid team defense, and were able to keep the Rangers from getting any offense going all night long. (0:00) Then, defenseman Harrison Brunicke and forward Ben Kindel made their NHL debuts in the season opener and did a lot of good to continue making their case to stay in the big leagues beyond a nine-game tryout. They dive into how Brunicke bounced back from a tough first shift and how Kindel didn't look out of place at the NHL level. (12:53) Finally, it's Wednesday once again, so it's time for Warrior Helmet Wednesday, which means Patrick and Hunter give out their MVPs of the week!
