Who STEPS UP for the Penguins in 2026-27?

The Penguins were able to get back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs thanks to several depth players stepping up in 2025-26, so who will do that this year? Patrick and Hunter begin the Monday edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast by looking at some of the Penguins' new additions as well as some players in their second year with the club and how they can step up to help the team return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2027. (0:00) Then, a Penguins' sixth-round pick had a huge weekend for Team USA at the World Junior Summer Showcase, and while Carter Sanderson may not be on your radar as a big-time prospect, he's certainly someone to keep an eye on. (13:46) Finally, the Penguins' affiliation with the Florida Everblades is fully underway, and yet another talented goaltender will enter the team's prospect pipeline.
