The 2016–17 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 50th season for the National Hockey League ice hockey team that was established on June 5, 1967.[2] The Penguins would win the Stanley Cup championship in back to back years, defeating the Nashville Predators in the 2017 Finals after winning the Stanley Cup in 2016.

Off-season

On the first day of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft the Pittsburgh Penguins announced they will officially change their uniform colors from Black and Vegas Gold, used from 2002 to 2003 through 2015–16, back to the Black and "Pittsburgh Gold" they have used as an alternate jersey for the past two season revealing a new Visitor jersey reflecting the same format used in the early 1990s.[3]
