They explained that all teams submit some preferred dates, but the league wants to maximize attendance for teams that struggle. The Pens have two things working against them. First, they are one of the top road draws in the league, ensuring good Saturday night crowds in markets that struggle. Second, the league isn't concerned about when the Pens play at home, since they sell out all their games anyway. The schedule is a byproduct of the team's success. Penguin fans get the shaft.
