Penguins vs. Carolina 20 February 2022

 

Pregame ceremony honoring Sidney Crosby's 500th NHL goal before the game

Andrew and I cautiously resumed our attendance at hockey games. It was our first game together since 8 March 2020, the last game the Penguins played prior to the initial Covid pause. That game, also against the Carolina Hurricanes, was the last time the two teams had played, a gap of nearly two years. The teams entered play each with 70 points, tied for the lead in the division, but the Hurricanes had played fewer games.

Prior to the game, a ceremony to acknowledge Crosby’s 500th NHL goal occurred. The feat happened at the previous home game on 15 February against Philadelphia. Assistant captains Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin presented him with a golden hockey stick and a framed memento.
