4. October 18 against Toronto Maple Leafs

The games are always fun between these two teams, and we get to see a glimpse of it in the Penguins’ fifth game of the season. Pittsburgh will travel to Toronto for that game — which is a Thursday night, but there were still be an electric atmosphere for that game nevertheless.

Seeing Auston Matthews and Sidney Crosby go toe-to-toe again is always must-see TV, and it’ll be interesting to see if NBCSN airs that game. NBCSN’s schedule comes out usually sometime in July, so we’ll know then.

The goaltending matchup between Pittsburgh’s Matt Murray and Toronto’s Frederik Anderson is a treat, too. Both goaltenders are some of the best in the league, even though some of these games have been high-scoring the past couple of years. Of course, Phil Kessel will return to Toronto and to see him play in front of the Toronto crowd each time makes for a must-watch game, as well.

These games are always highly entertaining and if you like high-scoring games, then this game is for you.
