However, rookie Flyers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky made his NHL debut, leading his team to a 3–2 victory. https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/phi-vs-pit/2010/10/07/2010020002 Flyers 3, Penguins 2 October 7, 2010 National Hockey League Associated Press Flyers forward Daniel Briere scored the first goal in the new building. In the first month of the season, goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury struggled, 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 against 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. During the month of November, the Penguins went on a 12-game winning streak beginning with a 3-1 victory against the Vancouver Canucks on November 17. At the same time team captain Sidney Crosby went on a 25-game point streak during which he recorded 26 goals and 24 assists.https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/look-back-crosbys-25-game-point-streak/c-562515 https://web.archive.org/web/20170930083852/https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/look-back-crosbys-25-game-point-streak/c-562515 dead September 30, 2017 Look Back: Crosby's 25-Game Point Streak May 13, 2011 October 19, 2018 The Penguins winning streak ended on December 14 with 3-2 loss in Philadelphia.https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/making-history-the-17-game-winning-streak-re-lived/c-546421 https://web.archive.org/web/20170930035822/https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/making-history-the-17-game-winning-streak-re-lived/c-546421 dead September 30, 2017 Making History: The 17-Game Winning Streak Re-Lived December 16, 2010 October 19, 2018 After 41 games, the midpoint of the season, the Penguins held a 26–12–3 record with 55 points, a two-point improvement over last season and good for second in the division behind the Philadelphia Flyers and fourth in the Eastern Conference. 2011 Winter Classic 2011 NHL Winter Classic The Penguins held the 2011 NHL Winter Classic at Heinz Field on January 1 against the Washington Capitals. This matchup pitted the two premiere stars of the game against each other, Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin. The Capitals won the contest however 3–1, overcoming a 1–0 Penguins lead in which Evgeni Malkin scored the lone Penguins goal. Jordan Staal made a return to the Penguins lineup in the Winter Classic after being held out all of the 2010 contests of the season due to foot and hand injuries. Crosby suffered a concussion in an open ice hit in the Winter Classic but remained in the game and took part in the following contest with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Against Tampa Bay, however, he was hit again, this time behind the net against the boards and further aggravated his concussion. Crosby was held out of games from January 7 through the end of the regular season. Second half Defenseman Kris Letang had a breakout first half of the season, sitting second on the team in points scored behind center Sidney Crosby. Letang, Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury were named to the roster of the 2011 NHL All-Star Game, though only Letang and Fleury made appearances, as Crosby and Malkin were held out of the contest with head and lower body injures, respectively. Malkin also missed multiple games in late January due to a lingering lower body injury and a sinus infection. He returned to the lineup against the Buffalo Sabres on February 4, but reactivated the injury during a hit by Tyler Myers in the second period, tearing his right medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Crosby and Malkin were injured for most of January and into February. In spite of these injuries, the Penguins still held onto second place in the Division and fourth place in the Conference for most of the first 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. Due to the absence of Malkin and Crosby, the Penguin's offense was not nearly as productive. This led general manager Ray Shero to make personnel 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, marking the fourth 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 the Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils and Florida Panthers in a seven-day period.http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11087/1135261-61.stm https://web.archive.org/web/20121022123728/http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/sports/penguins/penguins-set-nhl-record-by-winning-4th-consecutive-shootout-290264/ dead October 22, 2012 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Dave Molinari Penguins set NHL record by winning 4th consecutive shootout March 28, 2011 The Penguins concluded the regular season with the best penalty-kill percentage in the NHL, at 86.11%https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2011.html 2010-11 NHL Summary Game log background:#FFFFFF;

Their opponent in the first round were the Tampa Bay Lightning. In Game 4 of the series on April 20, the Penguins defeated the Lightning on the road, 3–2 in double overtime. James Neal once again scored the winning goal. It marked the second time James Neal that Neal had scored the game-winning goal for the Penguins; the first time had been the shootout-winning 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 Lightning in Game 7; it marked the second time in two years that the Penguins had lost a Game 7 on home ice and it was the first time that they had been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs since 2007. Furthermore, the Penguins were the third team to be knocked out of the playoffs in the debut of their new facility.https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/PIT/2011_games.html 2010-11 Pittsburgh Penguins Schedule and Resultshttps://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/PIT/ 2021-22 Pittsburgh Penguins Roster and Statistics Game log background:#FFFFFF; border-bottom:#CFC493 5px solid; border-top:#000000 5px solid; 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs y background:#FFFFFF; border-bottom:#CFC493 2px solid; border-top:#000000 2px solid; Eastern Conference quarterfinals vs No. 5 Tampa Bay Lightning: 3–4 (Home: 1–3; Road: 2–1) # Date Visitor Score Home OT PIT goals TBL goals Decision Attendance Series Recap |- style="text-align:center; background:#cfc;" | 1 || April 13 || Tampa Bay || 0–3 || Pittsburgh || || Kovalev, Asham, Kunitz || || Fleury (1–0) || 18,390 || 1–0 ||https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/tbl-vs-pit/2011/04/13/2010030141 Tampa Bay Lightning at Pittsburgh Penguins Game Recap – 04/13/2011 Nhl.com March 26, 2012 |- style="text-align:center; background:#fcf;" | 2 || April 15 || Tampa Bay || 5–1 || Pittsburgh || || Adams || Brewer, Lecavalier, Thompson, St. Louis, Ohlund || Fleury (1–1) || 18,507 || 1–1 ||https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/tbl-vs-pit/2011/04/15/2010030142 Tampa Bay Lightning at Pittsburgh Penguins Game Recap – 04/15/2011 Nhl.com March 26, 2012 |- style="text-align:center; background:#cfc;" | 3 || April 18 || Pittsburgh || 3–2 || Tampa Bay || || Talbot, Asham, Kennedy || St. Louis, St. Louis || Fleury (2–1) || 20,545 || 2–1 ||https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/pit-vs-tbl/2011/04/18/2010030143 Pittsburgh Penguins at Tampa Bay Lightning Game Recap – 04/18/2011 Nhl.com March 26, 2012 |- style="text-align:center; background:#cfc;" | 4 || April 20 || Pittsburgh || 3–2 || Tampa Bay || 2OT || Kennedy, Asham, Neal || St. Louis, Bergenheim || Fleury (3–1) || 20,326 || 3–1 ||https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/pit-vs-tbl/2011/04/20/2010030144 Pittsburgh Penguins at Tampa Bay Lightning Game Recap – 04/20/2011 Nhl.com March 26, 2012 |- style="text-align:center; background:#fcf;" | 5 || April 23 || Tampa Bay || 8–2 || Pittsburgh || || Rupp, Conner || Gagne, Stamkos, Lecavalier, Gagne, Stamkos, Kubina, Kubina, Moore || Fleury (3–2) || 18,535 || 3–2 ||https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/tbl-vs-pit/2011/04/23/2010030145 Tampa Bay Lightning at Pittsburgh Penguins Game Recap – 04/23/2011 Nhl.com March 26, 2012 |- style="text-align:center; background:#fcf;" | 6 || April 25 || Pittsburgh || 2–4 || Tampa Bay || || Dupuis, Staal || Purcell, Bergenheim, Downie, Malone || Fleury (3–3) || 20,309 || 3–3 ||https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/pit-vs-tbl/2011/04/25/2010030146 Pittsburgh Penguins at Tampa Bay Lightning Game Recap – 04/25/2011 Nhl.com March 26, 2012 |- style="text-align:center; background:#fcf;" | 7 || April 27 || Tampa Bay || 1–0 || Pittsburgh || || || Bergenheim || Fleury (3–4) || 18,507 || 3–4 ||https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/tbl-vs-pit/2011/04/27/2010030147 Tampa Bay Lightning at Pittsburgh Penguins Game Recap – 04/27/2011 Nhl.com March 26, 2012 |- |- style="text-align:center;" | Legend:      #cfc darkgray = Win      #fcf darkgray = Loss      #ffc darkgray = OT/SO Loss Scorer of game-winning goal in italics.
