Penguins Host Canucks Tonight, Crosby Eyes Franchise Record
Pittsburgh, PA – The Pittsburgh Penguins (4-2-0) return to PPG Paints Arena tonight to face the Vancouver Canucks (4-2-0) in a cross-conference showdown. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM, with doors opening at 6:00 PM. The game will be broadcast on SportsNet Pittsburgh and can be heard on 105.9 the X and the Penguins app.
Tonight is “Dollar Dog Night,” with Smith’s hot dogs available for just $1 at participating concession stands (limit 4 per person, per transaction, while supplies last).
Beyond the discounted dogs, all eyes will be on Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who is tied with Mario Lemieux for the most total points (regular season + playoffs) in franchise history. A single point tonight will give Crosby sole possession of the team record and move him into seventh all-time in NHL history.
Defenseman Kris Letang is also on the verge of a milestone, needing just two assists to reach 600 for his career, a feat only a handful of NHL defensemen have achieved.
Goaltender Tristan Jarry, a native of British Columbia, looks to continue his strong play against his hometown team. He boasts a 5-1-1 record, a 2.65 goals-against average, and a .911 save percentage in seven career games against Vancouver.
Evgeni Malkin has also historically performed well against the Canucks, accumulating 30 points (13G-17A) in 24 career games.
The Penguins have a strong recent record against Vancouver, going 11-5-2 in their last 17 matchups and having points in six straight home games against the Canucks dating back to 2018. They also boast a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 games against Western Conference opponents.
