A “limited number” of presale tickets will be available to Halifax Mooseheads season ticket holders on July 17, a statement read.

The Penguins’ pre-season schedule features seven games — three at their home arena and four on the road.

Crosby, who is from Cole Harbour, also played a NHL exhibition game in Halifax earlier into his professional career. He also skated at Scotiabank Centre during his QMJHL career with the Rimouski Oceanic.

The Senators, who will also be playing a pre-season game against the Florida Panthers at Centre 200 in Sydney, have a lineup that includes Nova Scotia’s Drake Batherson.
