(Buffalo, NY) The Pittsburgh Penguins drafted two twin brothers in the 2026 NHL Draft in Buffalo, New York over the weekend. The Penguins selected Liam Ruck at 22nd overall in the first round on Friday. However, it was a family affair for Liam as the Penguins selected his twin brother Markus Ruck at 39th overall on Saturday in the second round. The twins are from Osoyoos, British Columbia, and they spent more than two seasons with the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League. Markus, a forward, led the WHL with 108 points last season, while Liam, a right winger, finished in second with 104 points.
