Important Pittsburgh Penguins Games 2024

Pittsburgh Penguins: An Introduction

The Pittsburgh Penguins, commonly known as the "Pens," came into being in 1967. They joined the NHL that year as one of its first expansion teams when the league doubled the number of competing teams from six to twelve. Currently, the Penguins are part of the Metropolitan Division in the NHL's Eastern Conference. They are one of two NHL franchises based in Pennsylvania; the Philadelphia Flyers are the other. Given the two cities' proximity, their respective NHL representatives have come to share an intense regional rivalry called the "Battle of Pennsylvania." 

The Penguins have minor league affiliations with the ECHL's Wheeling Nailers and the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins at the moment. In the 2019-20 regular season, the Pens have maintained a good winning percentage and there should not be a problem getting to the playoffs if they keep that up.

Apart from sports, some great concerts have also taken place at the PPG Paints Arena over the years. Musical heavyweights such as Sir Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, Reba McEntire, Roger Waters, and Katy Perry have performed there in the past.

  The PPG Paints Arena is the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold-certified facility in both the AFL and the NHL. In 2010, it won the "Best New Major Concert Venue" honor at the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards. It was also named the "Best NHL Arena" by a readers' poll conducted by Sports Business Journal.
