Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Sharp in preseason finale
Silovs stopped 23 shots in Saturday's 3-1 preseason win over the Sabres.
A Ryan McLeod power-play tally in the third period spoiled his shutout bid, but Silovs still ended his preseason on a high note. The 25-year-old netminder is coming off a solid first season with the Penguins, going 19-12-8 in 39 appearances with a 3.07 GAA and .887 save percentage, but he could face a stiff challenge from Sergei Murashov for the top spot on the depth chart.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Starting preseason finale
Silovs will guard the road crease in Saturday's preseason contest against the Sabres, per Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Silovs will get the nod to wrap up exhibition play, where he'll look to bounce back after allowing seven goals in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Red Wings. The 25-year-old backstop saw his largest volume in the NHL during the 2025-26 campaign and posted a 19-12-8 record, a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 39 regular-season outings. As the goalie room's veteran, he might open the season as the No. 1 option, but Sergei Murashov will likely challenge him for playing time right out of the gate.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Guarding home crease Tuesday
Silovs will get the home start against Detroit for Tuesday's preseason contest, per Dan Potash of SportsNet Pittsburgh.
Head coach Dan Muse stated that Silovs will play the full game Tuesday. The 25-year-old netminder is coming off a solid first full campaign in the NHL, where he posted a 19-12-8 record, a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 39 regular-season outings. Because the team chose to extend him in July to a one-year deal, he likely has an inside track to make the roster ahead of Opening Night. However, both Sergei Murashov and Joel Blomqvist will post challenges to his playing time, making Silovs a hit-or-miss fantasy option to begin the 2026-27 campaign.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Surrenders seven goals in preseason loss
Silovs allowed seven goals on 23 shots during Tuesday's 7-4 preseason loss to the Red Wings.
Silovs made his preseason debut after Sergei Murashov got the nod for Monday's preseason opener. Silovs wasn't particularly effective in the defeat, and he defended the crease for the entire game. He made 39 regular-season appearances with the Penguins last year, going 19-12-8 with a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage. Silovs could still begin the 2026-27 campaign as Pittsburgh's primary netminder, though Sergei Murashov is expected to push for playing time.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Agrees to short-term deal
Silovs agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Penguins on Sunday.
Silovs made 39 appearances in his first year with the Penguins in 2025-26, posting a 19-12-8 record, 3.07 GAA and .887 save percentage. The Latvian netminder will certainly have to prove himself in 2026-27 to earn a longer contract next year, which might be difficult if Silovs can't command more playing time than Sergei Murashov and Joel Blomqvist, the latter of whom the Penguins signed to a two-year contract Sunday.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Heartbreaking OT loss in Game 6
Silovs made 31 saves Wednesday in the Penguins' 1-0 overtime loss to the Flyers in Game 6 of their first-round series.
The 25-year-old netminder did everything he could to force a Game 7 and keep Pittsburgh's campaign alive, but Cam York snapped a shot through traffic that glanced off the post and into the net with about two and a half minutes left in the first extra period, ending Silovs' goaltending duel with Dan Vladar. Silovs had an up-and-down regular season, but he shone after replacing Stuart Skinner between the pipes in the playoffs, allowing five goals on 82 shots (.939 save percentage) over three starts. Both goalies are free agents this offseason -- Skinner unrestricted and Silovs an RFA -- but with prospect Sergei Murashov potentially ready to make the leap to the NHL on a full-time basis in 2026-27, it's not clear if either veteran will be back in Pittsburgh next season.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Between pipes for Game 6
Silovs will tend the twine on the road against the Flyers in Game 6 on Wednesday, Sportsnet's Dan Potash reports.
Silovs has given up four goals on 50 shots (.920 save percentage) in two wins this postseason. The 25-year-old has become the No. 1 option between the pipes for head coach Dan Muse after Stuart Skinner went 0-3 in the first three games of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Skinner surrendered nine goals on 71 shots.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Keeps Pens alive with Game 5 win
Silovs stopped 18 shots Monday in the Penguins' 3-2 win over the Flyers in Game 5 of their first-round series.
The 25-year-old netminder did squander an early 2-0 lead, but once Kris Letang put Pittsburgh back in front with a fluky tally late in the second period, Silovs shut the door. He's won two straight starts since replacing Stuart Skinner in the crease, allowing four goals on 50 shots (.920 save percentage), and he'll look to keep rolling in Game 5 on Wednesday back in Philadelphia as the Pens try to stave off elimination once again.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Keeps series alive
Silovs stopped 28 of 30 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.
Silovs got the nod after Stuart Skinner lost three straight games to open the postseason. The 25-year-old Silovs did his job to keep the series alive, sending it back to Pittsburgh for Game 5 on Monday. He went 19-12-8 with a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 39 regular-season outings. Silovs' win Saturday likely puts him in line to start the next game.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Drawing Game 5 start
Silovs was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the Game 5 start at home against the Flyers.
Silovs drew his first start of this year's playoffs during Saturday's Game 4 on the road, and he turned aside 28 of 30 shots (.933 save percentage) in a 4-2 victory to stave off elimination. Following Monday's win, he'll draw a second consecutive start in an attempt to force a Game 6. Silovs has picked up wins in four of his last six outings, going 4-2-0 with a 3.41 GAA and .878 save percentage during that time.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Tending twine in Game 4
Silovs will be between the road pipes against Philadelphia in Game 4 on Saturday, according to Josh Yohe of The Athletic.
The Penguins have their backs against the wall after going down 3-0 to the Flyers in the opening round of the playoffs. Stuart Skinner started each of those contests. Silovs was 19-12-8 with a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 39 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. The Flyers have found the back of the net 11 times during the first three games of the series.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Gets work in third period
Silovs stopped seven of nine shots in relief of Stuart Skinner in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Blues.
Silovs played the third period in what was likely an effort to keep both goalies from sitting around too long ahead of the playoffs. The 25-year-old ended up with the loss after this relief appearance, as he entered when the game was tied at 4-4. Silovs is down to 19-12-8 with a 3.07 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 39 appearances this season. The Penguins' goaltending hasn't exactly been a strength, so it's fair to assume both netminders will get some playing time during the playoffs, but Skinner has the experience of making back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals on his resume.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Capsized by Caps
Silovs stopped 25 of 30 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals, with Washington's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
After a scoreless first period, the two teams erupted for seven goals in the second frame, with Silovs getting beaten four times on 14 shots. The 25-year-old has had a bumpy finish to the regular season, going 7-4-0 since the beginning of March with a 3.49 GAA and .864 save percentage, but Stuart Skinner hasn't been a whole lot better over that same stretch. It remains unclear which netminder will handle starting duties for Pittsburgh when the playoffs begin.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Starting Saturday
Silovs will defend the home net versus Washington on Saturday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Silovs is 19-10-8 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.99 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 37 appearances this season. The Capitals are 15th in scoring with 250 goals in 79 games.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Solid showing in win
Silovs turned aside 29 of 31 shots on net in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.
Silovs earned his third consecutive win on Sunday and his second win against the Panthers of the weekend. Overall, the 25-year-old netminder now has a 19-10-8 record, a 2.99 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 37 appearances this season. His first full campaign as a regular option in net has been a solid showing. He's been a large part as to why Pittsburgh is on pace to make the playoffs and should continue to see consistent starts while Stuart Skinner (upper body) remains out of the lineup. Silovs is a solid streaming option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Starting back-to-back days
Silovs led the team out for warmups and will get the start Sunday against the Panthers, Dan Potash of SportsNet Pittsburgh reports.
With Stuart Skinner (upper body) out Sunday after being struck with a puck in the eye, Silovs will earn a start for the second straight day against the Panthers. The 25-year-old Silovs turned aside just 19 of the 23 Florida shots he faced Saturday but was rewarded with nine goals of support to earn the win. He is 18-10-8 with a 3.01 GAA and an .888 save percentage this season.
