Penguins make flurry of roster moves ahead of Mammoth clash

The Pittsburgh Penguins have begun to turn things around after a challenging start to the 2026-27 NHL season, winning two games in a row and looking to make it three for the first time this year against the visiting Utah Mammoth on Thursday night. The club made several roster moves ahead of that matchup, activating forward Justin Brazeau from injured reserve and assigning him to the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on a conditioning loan. Brazeau hasn’t appeared in a game this season after suffering a lower-body injury during the preseason.
