Puljujarvi bagged one goal on three shots and added two assists in Friday's 7-3 preseason win over the Blue Jackets.

Puljujarvi had an extremely productive 11-second stint in the second period, bagging Pittsburgh's third goal and setting up Rutger McGroarty's tally. Puljujarvi would finish his day by delivering an assist in Lars Eller's second goal -- and Pittsburgh's seventh of the night. The 26-year-old Puljujarvi is expected to hold a middle-six role with the Penguins once the team opens the season against the Rangers on Oct. 9.
