‘It’s something we’ve always dreamed of’: Identical twins Liam and Markus Ruck make NHL preseason debuts with Penguins, play on same line

The NHL got its first look at its newest pair of brothers Tuesday night. Identical twins, Markus Ruck and Liam Ruck, made their NHL preseason debuts together, suiting up for the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Detroit Red Wings. The twins skated on the same line in Pittsburgh’s 7-4 loss. It's twin time at @PPGPaintsArena 😁

Drive to the Net: They'd best keep open minds

This ain't it. And I'm fairly confident that, in stating such a thing, it'd be clear I'm not referring even remotely to the Penguins' 7-4 preseason loss to the Red Wings tonight here at PPG Paints Arena.

The Penguins have re-signed restricted free agent forward Ville Koivunen to an eight-year contract. — Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) August 6, 2026 Sidney Crosby, Bryan Rust, Ric...
