The NHL recently announced their outdoor game schedule for the season, and the Penguins were not on it. Louis Blues. It is unclear if Pittsburgh will be included if the Hurricanes reschedule theirs, presumably in the season.

The Penguins have participated in five of the 32 regular-season outdoors NHL games held since ; their most recent was against the Philadelphia Flyers at Lincoln Financial Field in , when they lost in overtime.

With Crosby and Evgeni Malkin as the main attractions, we will see another outdoor game for this team soon, but not for another year, at least. American or not, his rendition sends chills down your spine. But it wasn't the all-star stare down many had hoped for. Crosby was a minus-2 on the night, while Toews scored twice and added an assist. As you see Crosby skate around during warmups, you might notice some snow on the ice. Ya, about that It kind of snowed.

A lot. The pre-game forecast was right and it snowed nearly all game long. Against Buffalo, the Penguins played in snow and against Washington they played in rain, so wherever the Penguins play outside, the precipitation follows. While commercial breaks were used to shovel off the snow, the build up of it during play often made the puck hard to handle. Patrick Kane, one of the most sure-handed players in the league, had it pop off his stick a few times.

Duncan Keith, one of the best first-passers in the league whiffed on one that got buried in snow. This game had it's share of nice plays. With a lead midway through the second period, Jonathan Toews toyed with Brooks Orpik , moving in and out and through him with whiplash moves. He then went in alone on Marc-Andre Fleury and tucked the backhand deke behind the goalie for a lead. It was a tough night for Fleury, who had to look back into his net a lot on Saturday. At least he's got a cool looking helmet.

This goal came six minutes after Toews', as Kris Versteeg buried a beautiful pass from Kane. This had come after Kane already hit two posts and with all the snow, it's a small miracle the puck stayed steady enough across the ice.
