While this wasn't necessarily a Penguins historical event, it was historical nonetheless. On this day in 1925, the first NHL game ever to take place in the city of Pittsburgh happened. The Pittsburgh Pirates lost in overtime to the New York Americans, 2-1. Back then, the team played at the old Duquesne Gardens in Oakland (a city neighborhood for those not familiar with the Burgh). When you don't have the means, you make due. The Gardens was not an entertainment venue at all, but rather a trolley barn that had been converted to hold about 5,000 people.
