The very next night the Penguins had the designation as the home team, wearing their home (black) uniforms. Prior to their two-game series against Ottawa, the Penguins played a final pre-season game against Finnish team Jokerit in Helsinki. The Penguins wore their home (black) uniforms for that game.
