How to Watch Red Wings at Penguins: Stream NHL Preseason Live, TV Channel

The Detroit Red Wings hit the road for the first time this preseason when they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night

The Detroit Red Wings, off to a 2-0-0 start in the preseason, play their first road game of their warmup slate when they take on the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Friday night. Detroit enters the 2025-26 season with a franchise-record nine-year playoff drought while the Penguins last made the postseason in 2022 and haven’t won a playoff series since 2018. The Red Wings played well last season after Todd McLellan replaced Derek Lalonde behind the bench, posting a 26-18-4 record, while Pittsburgh replaced Mike Sullivan after nine-plus seasons with former New York Rangers assistant coach Dan Muse.

Andrew Copp had a goal and an assist as Detroit beat the visiting Buffalo Sabres 5-2 on Thursday night. The Red Wings hope to improve their goaltending this season after trading veteran Petr Mrázek and a pair of draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks for John Gibson, who looks to share time with veteran Cam Talbot. The Wings possess the offensive pieces with captain Dylan Larkin and wings Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat but need the defense corps to step up around Moritz Seider.

The Penguins fell to 0-1-1 in the preseason with a 4-1 loss at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday night. Pittsburgh appears to be in a full rebuilding mode around longtime stars Sidney Crosby, 38, and 39-year-old Evgeni Malkin, who along with defenseman Kris Letang are the final holdovers from the back-to-back Stanley Cup winners from 2016 and 2017.

The Red Wings finished sixth in the Atlantic Division last season at 39-35-8 while Pittsburgh was seventh in the Metropolitan with a 34-36-12 mark.
