The recipients of the tickets have been avid fans of Crosby, who is entering his 19th season with the Penguins. Throughout his career, Crosby has achieved remarkable statistics, including 550 goals, 952 assists, and 1,502 points.
Penguins fans have reason to be excited for this season as the team is dedicated to winning the Stanley Cup. The Penguins’ general manager, Kyle Dubas, recently acquired a two-time Norris Trophy-winning defenseman from the San Jose Sharks. Despite playing in a competitive Metropolitan Division, the Penguins are expected to make a return to the playoffs in 2024, after ending a 16-year playoff streak in 2016.
