The Pittsburgh Penguins are a franchise in the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL).
The team was founded as part of the league's expansion prior to the 1967–68 season.
The franchise has had 11 general managers in its history, with Jack Riley serving two terms.
Eight games in March and April 1983 went without a general manager due to Aldege "Baz" Bastien's death in a car crash, while the team had no interim named for a month and a half during the summer of 2023.
