Rowney made his NHL debut on January 31, 2017, playing for the Penguins against the Nashville Predators.[13] On February 4, Rowney recorded his first NHL point, assisting on a Kris Letang goal against the St. Louis Blues.[14] On March 17, 2017, Rowney scored his first NHL goal against New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid in a 6–4 Penguins win.[15]
On June 11, 2017, after a 2–0 shutout victory over the Nashville Predators, he won his first Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins.[16]
