GAME RECAP: Penguins vs. Rangers (10.09.24) | Rutger McGroarty Makes NHL Debut



The Pittsburgh Penguins started their 2024.25 season at home against the New York Rangers. There were a variety of Penguins milestones upon starting the game: rookie Rutger McGroarty made his NHL debut, Kris Letang entered his 19th season tonight and became one of three defensemen in NHL history to play their entire career with one team spanning at least 19 season, and captain Sidney Crosby, entering his 20th season, joined the Pirates’ Willie Stargell as the only two players in Pittsburgh sports history to have spent two decades with a team in this city. Under two-and-a-half minutes into play, Carrick got the visiting Rangers on the board, and they didn’t look back. Lafrenière and Kreider added to the lead in the opening frame. Chytil added the lone tally of the 2nd period. In the final 20 minutes, Kreider added his second of the game and Pittsburgh local Vincent Trocheck scored the final Rangers goal.

  1. I wouldn't say one game is worth all these comments, but it's also hard to argue.

    I'd imagine there will be conversations. I couldn't imagine who, what or where but… all I know is… I really hope this is a fluke 😩

  2. I hate saying this but Crosby didn’t even look like he knew what was going on. He just kinda stood there and not play hard like he normally does . Not much effort

  3. First Time Rutger signed the National Hockey League 🏒 contract for making
    his debut all time in earlier 20s.

  4. Said it last year and will say it again
    Jarry needs to be traded and bring in somebody that is willing to do the little things every game.
    Flower would be better at his age

  5. Allez courage les gars
    Ce n'est que le premier match
    On vous soutiens
    Lets Go Pens
