The 2019–20 Pittsburgh Penguins season is the 53rd season for the National Hockey League team that was established on June 5, 1967.[1] This season saw the team try to extend their playoffs streak to 14 seasons.
The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.[4] The Penguins advanced to the playoffs and are scheduled to face the Montreal Canadiens in the qualifying round.
