The 2010–11 Pittsburgh Penguins season is the 44th and current season of the franchise in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Penguins began the season in their new arena, CONSOL Energy Center, which is adjacent from their old facility, Mellon Arena, which had been the third smallest and oldest arena in the NHL. The Penguins will also host the 2011 NHL Winter Classic against the Washington Capitals at Heinz Field, home of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers and NCAA's Pittsburgh Panthers football.

Pre-season

On June 16, the Pittsburgh Penguins announced that they will play a six-game pre-season, including the first-ever game at the new CONSOL Energy Center on September 22 against the Detroit Red Wings.^[1]

On July 26, 2010, longtime Penguins PA announcer John Barbaro died of brain cancer at 65.

Regular season

First half

The Penguins inaugurated their new arena on October 7 with a home opener against their in-state rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers, the defending Eastern Conference Champions, whom they will play three times in the first month of the season. However, rookie Flyers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky made his NHL debut, leading his team to a 3–2 victory.^[2] Flyers forward Danny Briere scored the first goal in the new building. In the first month of the season, Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury struggled between the pipes posting a 1–5 record for the month while backup goaltender Brent Johnson was 5–0–1 and posting a shutout in the final game of the month vs the Carolina Hurricanes. Injuries were another trend for the first month of the season with Jordan Staal failing to play the first month of the season with an infection in his foot. Other injuries to Zbynek Michalek and Brooks Orpik weakened the defensive unit during the first month.

After 41 games the mid point of the season, the Penguins held a 26–12–3 record with 55 points. Two points better than last season and in the 2nd spot in the division behind the Philadelphia Flyers and 4th in the Eastern Conference.

2011 Winter Classic

Second half

Defender Kris Letang had a breakout first half of the season, 2nd in points behind center Sidney Crosby which gave him, Crosby, center Evgeni Malkin and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury though Fleury and Letang were the only two to partake in the 2011 NHL All Star Game while Crosby and Malkin were held out with head and lower body injures respectively.

Malkin also missed multiple games during late January due to a lingering lower body injury and sinus infection. He returned to the lineup against the Buffalo Sabres on the February 4, but reagrivated the injury during a hit by Tyler Myers in the 2nd period and thus tearing his right Medial collateral ligament and Anterior cruciate ligament.

Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin were injured for most of January and into February. In spite of these huge injuries, the Penguins still held onto 2nd place in the division and 4th place in the conference for most of the 1st half and middle of the season going 8–3–1 without Crosby which includes 4–1–0 without both Crosby and Malkin during the same 8–3–1 span.

Since the absence of star centers Malkin and Crosby, the Penguin's offensive unit has not been nearly as productive. This has led Penguins GM Ray Shero to make some adjustments before the February trade deadline. On February 21, the Penguins traded defenseman Alex Goligoski to the Dallas Stars for left winger James Neal and defenseman Matt Niskanen. The organization also acquired right winger Alex Kovalev from the Ottawa Senators for a conditional draft pick on February 24.

On March 25, the Penguins defeated the New Jersey Devils 1–0 in a shootout. James Neal scored the lone goal, this marks the 4th year in a row the Penguins have won a game on March 25 in a shutout and the first to go to overtime or a shootout.

On March 28, the Penguins set an NHL record by winning their fourth consecutive game in a shootout. During the stretch the team defeated Detroit, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Florida in a seven day period.^[3]

On April 20, the Penguins defeated the Tampa Bay Lighting 3–2 in double overtime. James Neal once again scored the winning goal. This marks the second time James Neal has scored the game winning goal the first was the winning shootout goal on March 25 in a 1–0 victory over the New Jersey Devils.

On April 27, the Penguins were officially eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 1–0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lighting in Game 7, this marks the second time the Penguins have lost a Game 7 on home ice and the third team to be knocked out of the playoffs in the debut of their new facility.
