The 2019–20 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the fifty-third season for the National Hockey League team that was established on June 5, 1967. [2] This season saw the team try to extend its playoff streak to fourteen seasons.

Background

This season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations suspended their seasons due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. [3] [4] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled. [5]

The Penguins advanced to the playoffs. Prior to the pause however, after taking the lead in the Metropolitan Division on February 18, the Penguins suffered a crucial six-game losing streak which coincided with both the Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers (the latter of whom were on a nine-game winning streak) surpassing the Penguins in the standings. This dropped the Penguins into third in the division and fifth in the conference. The modified playoff format kept the Penguins from being among the top four teams in the conference. When the Penguins returned to play as the fifth seed, the team lost to the twelfth-seeded Montreal Canadiens in the best-of-five qualifying round. [6]
