Penguins lineup tonight: Pittsburgh’s projected lineup for game against the Vegas Golden Knights | Mar. 11 2025

The Pittsburgh Penguins will look to avenge Friday's 4-0 shutout loss to the Vegas Golden Knights when they run it back in Vancouver on Tuesday. Pittsburgh bounced back with a 3-1 win over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday, which snapped a four-game skid and gave the team some momentum ahead of Tuesday's matchup.

Meanwhile, since shutting out Pittsburgh, Vegas was handed a 6-5 loss by the LA Kings on Sunday, snapping a four-game winning streak. The Penguins (25-31-10) are at the bottom of the divisional standings, two games behind the Philadelphia Flyers.

Vegas (38-19-6) is leading the Pacific Division, four points over the Edmonton Oilers.
