The three Central Division teams added to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s schedule are the Chicago Wolves, Milwaukee Admirals and Rockford IceHogs. The Penguins last faced off against Milwaukee and Rockford in 2018-19 and haven’t taken on Chicago since the 2008 Calder Cup Final.

Including the season opener, 28 of the Penguins’ 36 home games this season will take place on weekends: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton boasts three separate four-game homestands throughout the season. The Penguins will also be at home for three-straight games after Christmas, including Dec. 27, Dec. 30 and Jan. 1.

The Penguins’ longest time away from home is a six-game road stretch in March that spans across the U.S.-Canadian border.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton returns to the Atlantic Division for 2026-27, which now sits at seven teams: the Charlotte Checkers, Hartford Wolf Pack, Hershey Bears, Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Providence Bruins and Springfield. The Penguins will meet division foes 48 times (24 home/24 road). Of their remaining 24 games, 18 will come against clubs in the North Division (9 home/9 road) and six will take place against the Central Division (3 home/3 road).
