Preseason Game 1- Columbus Blue Jackets @ Penguins

The Penguins open up preseason play on Tuesday night when they play host to the upstart Columbus Blue Jackets, who made the playoffs for the first time in their existence last season. The game was moved up to accommodate the upcoming G-20 Summit in downtown Pittsburgh.

The Jackets are bringing along a young team full of prospects trying to make the roster. Former Penguin Mathieu Garon will make the trip, and will probably share time with Dan LaCosta in goal. Columbus' first round pick, John Moore, will make his NHL debut.

For the Pens, their top two prospects, Eric Tangradi and Simon Despres, will be in the lineup, and playing in prominent roles on the top forward line and defensive pairings.
