Penguins Host Kings in Military Appreciation Game Before Sweden Trip
PITTSBURGH, PA – The Pittsburgh Penguins face off against the Los Angeles Kings today at PPG Paints Arena in a 2 PM matinee, a Military Appreciation Game presented by 84 Lumber where all fans will receive a free camo hat. The game is a final tune-up before the team departs for Sweden as part of the 2025 Global Series.
The Penguins (9-4-3) are looking to extend their current three-game winning streak against the Kings (6-5-4) and secure their first four-game win streak against Los Angeles since the mid-1970s.
In honor of Military Appreciation Day, the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation is holding an online auction featuring autographed memorabilia, with proceeds benefiting Friends of Pittsburgh Fisher House and the Pittsburgh Warriors. The auction began at 12 PM today and will run through November 17. Fans can participate by visiting pens.givesmart.com or texting PENS to 76278. Additional fundraising will occur at the game with mystery signed pucks and warmup pucks available for purchase behind Section 104. Fans can also visit the Foundation concourse table to pick up a ‘My Hero Is’ cause card.
“We’re proud to support our military and offer a fun experience for fans,” said a Penguins spokesperson. “The Military Appreciation Game and Foundation initiatives will help two great organizations.”
On the ice, several Penguins players are approaching significant milestones. Sidney Crosby, currently leading the NHL in goals (11), is one multi-point game away from becoming only the sixth player in NHL history with 500 or more. Erik Karlsson is nearing Peter Forsberg’s point total among Swedish-born players and Brad Park’s assist total among defensemen. Kris Letang is also on the verge of surpassing Doug Wilson for ninth-most points by a defenseman with one team in NHL history.
Rookie goaltender Sergei Murashov, recently named AHL Goaltender of the Month, could also make his NHL debut during today’s game.
Fans can catch the action on SportsNet Pittsburgh or listen on 105.9 The X and the Penguins app. Doors open at 12:30 PM.
