After an eventful first round of the 2025 NHL Draft, where the Penguins made three picks for the first time in over 40 years, Day 2 was just as busy. Pittsburgh traded up to get back in the second round,

The Pittsburgh Penguins made two draft picks in the fifth round of the 2025 NHL Entry draft. With their first pick of the round (130th) overall the Pens added forward Ryan Miller out of Portland of the WHL. On their next turn (148th) Pittsburgh selected defender Quinn Beauchesne from Guelph of the OH.

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.
