The 25-year-old Latvian goalie started the season with a 19-save shutout in a 7-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers, but he has struggled since, allowing five goals in three of four games (2-2-0) and posting a 4.00 GAA and .853 SV%. The Penguins enter Friday's contest as +164 road underdogs against a 6-3-0 Mammoth team.

The Penguins enter Friday's contest as +164 road underdogs against a 6-3-0 Mammoth team.

Silovs has had an up-and-down start to the 2026-27 season, challenged by backup Sergei Murashov, but he hopes to build on his most recent performance, saving 24 shots (.960 SV%) in a 2-1 shootout win over the Dallas Stars. The 25-year-old Latvian goalie has a 2.72 GAA and .885 SV% in four games this season (3-1-0). The Penguins enter Friday's action as +181 road underdogs against a Colorado Avalanche team that has lost three of its last five games (2-2-1).

Sergei Murashov had a decent outing in his season debut last game, but the team will turn to Silovs to start for the third time in four games to start the season. The 25-year-old Silovs was outstanding in his season opener, saving all 19 shots he faced in a 7-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers, but was not nearly as dominant in his following outing, allowing five goals on 25 shots (.800 SV%) while managing to salvage a 6-5 overtime victory over the Montreal Canadiens. The Penguins enter Wednesday's contest as +139 road underdogs against a Washington Capitals team that is 1-1-0 this season.

For a second straight season, Arturs Silovs will be Pittsburgh's opening night starter as they take on the Flyers in Philadelphia on Wednesday. The 25-year-old goalie is entering his second full season with Pittsburgh after an up-and-down 2025-26 season that saw him post a 19-12-8 record, 3.07 GAA and .888 SV% across 38 starts. He will head to Philadelphia for an interstate battle vs. the rival Flyers, who finished 2025-26 tied with the Penguins with 98 points and a 43-27-12 record.

Silovs made his mark with Pittsburgh last season, including an impressive, albeit short, playoff stint, proving he can handle an increased workload in the crease, earning himself a one-year extension worth $2.8 million. The 25-year-old Latvian goalie posted a 3.07 GAA and .887 SV% last season in 39 games (19-12-8) with Pittsburgh. With the offseason departure of Stuart Skinner, Silovs will have a chance to earn an even larger workload between the pipes in 2026-27.

Stuart Skinner was serviceable for the Penguins in the first three games of the series, but after being in a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 series deficit, Head Coach Dan Muse decided to turn to Arturs Silovs in Game Four, and has not regretted the decision. The 25-year-old Silovs has been excellent since taking over the Penguins' crease in the last two games, narrowing the series to 3-2, posting a solid 2.00 GAA and .920 SV%. The Penguins will try to force a Game Seven, entering Game Six as slight +106 road underdogs.

After relying on Stuart Skinner in the first three games against the Philadelphia Flyers, falling to a 3-0 series deficit, the Penguins switched the script in Game Four and turned to Silovs. The 25-year-old Latvian goalie came up big, saving 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) in a 4-2 win, helping the Penguins narrow their series to 3-1. Silovs was inconsistent this season, but was excellent in his only regular-season appearance against the Fleyrs as well, saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 3-2 win. The Penguins enter Game Five as -129 home favourites.

With Pittsburgh on the brink of elimination ahead of Game 4 on Saturday, they will switch up their starting goaltender and let Arturs Silovs start between the pipes after Stuart Skinner posted a .873 SV% through three opening round loses. Saturday will be Silovs 11th career playoff appearance despite being just 25-year-old, after he led Vancouver on a run in his rookie season in 2023-24. Silovs will hope to be the saving grace for Pittsburgh's season as they head to Philadelphia on Saturday to avoid a series sweep.

Silovs stopped 29 of 31 shots in the Penguins' win over the Panthers last Sunday. He started back-to-back games last weekend with Stuart Skinnner nicked up, winning both of them while stopping 48 of 54 shots (.889 SV%). Silovs has won five of his last six starts (5-1-0) despite posting a 3.29 GAA and .873 SV% in those games. The first time he faced Washington was back in November, where he allowed three goals on 30 shots in a 5-3 win.
