Pittsburgh Penguins hold practice at outdoor rink in Calgary (VIDEOS)
With a pair of days off on their Western Canadian road trip, the Pittsburgh Penguins took practice outdoors today in Calgary.
Fresh off a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames, Penguins players skated on the outdoor rink at Valley Ridge Community Association — and they picked the perfect day for it.
