AutoDraft Pro AI

Joel Blomqvist continues to serve as part of the Pittsburgh Penguins' AHL goaltending tandem alongside Sergei Murashov. The organization recently signed Taylor Gauthier to a one-year entry-level contract for $775,000 to provide additional insurance for the remainder of the 2025-26 season and the playoffs. The Penguins are prioritizing depth at the position as both the NHL roster and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins prepare for potential postseason runs.
