Nine of the Penguins’ games have been rescheduled. The changes are part of a league-wide reshuffling of the overall schedule that was pockmarked by a number of postponements over the past three months because of issues related to covid-19.

Five of the Penguins’ games were previously postponed because of matters related to the virus.

For the league overall, many of the games have been rescheduled for February when the NHL originally intended to take a multi-week break for the Winter Olympics. After the NHL and NHL Players’ Association reached an agreement to not participate in the Olympics in December, that opened up the possibility to reschedule games in February.

The nine games that were rescheduled for the Penguins include:

Tickets already purchased for all rescheduled home games remain valid.

• NHL reschedules games, season set to end on time April 29

Follow the Penguins all season long.
