After much teasing, the Pittsburgh Penguins finally revealed their much anticipated ‘Hometown Remix’ jerseys on Monday and they will make their debut this evening when the Penguins play host the Vegas Golden Knights. The Penguins will be hoping the fresh threads and a fresh month will give them a clean slate to right some wrong from October and get back in the win column starting now.
Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM and will be broadcast on Sportsnet Pittsburgh.
