The Penguins enter the 2025 draft looking for an infusion of young talent for first-year coach Dan Muse. The 42-year-old Muse comes from the New York Rangers, who hired former longtime Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan this offseason. Pittsburgh last made the playoffs in 2022 and has not won a playoff series since 2018.

The Penguins restocked their prospect pool with three distinct forwards in the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft. Here's how they play.

Bill Zonnon was taken at No. 22 before the Penguins moved up to select Will Horcoff, their third 18-year-old forward of the first round, at No. 24 by trading picks No. 31 and 59 to the Los Angeles Kings.
