The 2021–22 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 55th season for the National Hockey League team that was established on June 5, 1967.[2]
On March 27, 2022, the Penguins defeated the Red Wings, 11–2, marking the first time the team has scored 11 goals in a game since November 16, 1993.[3] On April 14, 2022, the Penguins clinched their 16th consecutive playoff appearance after a 6–3 win over the New York Islanders.[4] In the First Round, the Penguins lost in seven games to the New York Rangers despite having a 3–1 series lead. This marked the fourth time the Penguins lost a best-of-seven playoff series after having a 3–1 series lead, and the second time doing so against the New York Rangers. The Game 7 loss marked the first time the Penguins lost a Game 7 on the road in franchise history after going 6–0 the previous six instances.[5]
