The 2022–23 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 56th season for the National Hockey League team that was established on June 5, 1967. [2]
During the season Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang each played in their 1,000th NHL game, joining Sidney Crosby as the only players in franchise history to accomplish this feat while playing all 1,000 games for the Penguins. [3] [4]
They were eliminated from playoff contention on April 12, 2023 after the New York Islanders defeated the Montreal Canadiens, missing the postseason for the first time since 2006, [5] and ending the longest active playoff appearance streak among the four major North American sports leagues at 16 years. [6] [7] [8] Consequently, the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB), making the playoffs every year since 2013, now owned the longest active playoffs streak across four major North American professional sports while the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer (MLS) do the same in all five North American professional sports, making the playoffs every year since 2010. [9] [10] Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs now own the longest active playoffs streaks in the NHL, both at 7 years after both the Nashville Predators and Washington Capitals, both had eight straight playoff berths, missed out.

Evgeni Vladimirovich Malkin is a Russian professional ice hockey centre and alternate captain for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). Nicknamed "Geno", Malkin began his career with his hometown club Metallurg Magnitogorsk, playing for their junior and senior teams. He was then selected second overall in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins, though an international transfer dispute delayed the start of his NHL career until 2006.
Kristopher Joseph Pierre Irwin Letang is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman and alternate captain for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). He played juniors in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) for three seasons, during which time he was selected 62nd overall by the Penguins in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. In his second full NHL season, Letang won the 2009 Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh. He became a two-time Stanley Cup champion when the Penguins defeated the San Jose Sharks in 2016, and a three-time Stanley Cup champion when the Penguins defeated the Nashville Predators in 2017. Internationally, he has competed for Canada at the under-18 and under-20 levels, winning back-to-back gold medals at the World Junior Championships in 2006 and 2007.
The Pittsburgh Penguins 2006–07 season was rife with potential, as the team featured one of the largest groups of young stars in the National Hockey League (NHL). Evgeni Malkin, the second overall pick in the 2004 NHL entry draft, came to the United States from Russia prior to the season and joined the team. He promptly became the first NHL rookie since 1917 to score goals in each of his first six games. Malkin and second-year phenom Sidney Crosby were joined by 18-year-old Jordan Staal, who made the jump directly from the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) to the Penguins roster after being drafted second overall in the 2006 NHL entry draft. The Penguins also brought back Mark Recchi via free agency, giving Recchi his third stint with the team. It would also be the first season the team would have involving defenceman and soon-to-be alternate captain Kris Letang.
The 2007–08 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the franchise's 41st season in the National Hockey League (NHL). Their regular season began on October 5, 2007, against the Carolina Hurricanes and concluded on April 6, 2008, against the rival Philadelphia Flyers. The Penguins looked to improve upon their progress in the 2006–07 season after being eliminated in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs by the Ottawa Senators. During the season, the Penguins wore gold patches with "250" on them, honoring the city of Pittsburgh's 250th anniversary in 2008.
The 2009–10 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 43rd season of the franchise in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Penguins entered the season as defending Stanley Cup champions. It was scheduled to be the last season with the Penguins' home venue as Mellon Arena before they moved into their new arena, the Consol Energy Center, which was being constructed adjacent to the Mellon Arena across Centre Avenue.
The 2010–11 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the team's 44th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Penguins began the season in their new arena, CONSOL Energy Center, which is adjacent from their old facility, Mellon Arena, which had been the third smallest and oldest arena in the NHL. The Penguins also hosted the 2011 NHL Winter Classic against the Washington Capitals at Heinz Field, home of the National Football League's Pittsburgh Steelers and NCAA's's Pittsburgh Panthers football.
Brian Joseph Dumoulin is an American professional ice hockey defenseman for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Dumoulin was selected by the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, and previously played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Seattle Kraken.
The 2011–12 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the franchise's forty-fifth season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Penguins, which was led by head coach Dan Bylsma and started the season without captain center Sidney Crosby, still managed a 51–25–6 record, an East-best 29 home wins, and 108-point average, which was second-best in the Eastern Conference.
Justin Schultz is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently a free agent. He has previously played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, and Seattle Kraken. Schultz won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Penguins in 2016 and 2017.

The 2013–14 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 47th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.
Bryan Peter Rust is an American professional ice hockey right winger for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). He won back-to-back Stanley Cup championships with the Penguins in 2016 and 2017 and is the fourth longest tenured member of the organization aside from Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang.
The 2014–15 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 48th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.
The 2015–16 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 49th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967. Their regular season games began on October 8, 2015 against the Dallas Stars. On December 12, the team had a record of 15–10–3. The organization then fired head coach Mike Johnston and replaced him with Mike Sullivan, head coach of the organization's American Hockey League affiliate in Wilkes-Barre.
The 2017–18 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the fifty-first season for the National Hockey League ice hockey team that was established on June 5, 1967. It entered the season as two-time defending Stanley Cup champions. The Penguins entered this season as the longest active playoffs streak in the NHL after the Detroit Red Wings missed the playoffs for the first time in 25 years last season.
The 2018–19 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 52nd season for the National Hockey League team that was established on June 5, 1967. The Penguins clinched a playoff spot on April 4, 2019, after a 4–1 win against the Detroit Red Wings.
