Pittsburgh Hockey History Made on November 6th...

1922 - Pittsburgh Hornets' Joe Klukay was born.
1945 - Pittsburgh Penguins' Darryl Edestrand was born.
1984 - At the Civic Arena, against the Edmonton Oilers marked the first NHL game in which Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky played against each other. A sellout crowd of 16,033 was on hand at the Arena as the defending Stanley Cup champions came to Pittsburgh, and it was the Penguins who earned the early lead when Warren Young beat Grant Fuhr just 5:05 into the game, giving Young 10 goals in the opening 11 games of the season. Former Penguin Kevin McClelland tied the game at 15:35 when he beat Denis Herron - set up by future Penguin Dave Hunter and former Penguin Pat Hughes. The Oilers made it 2-1 four minutes later when another future Penguin, Willy Lindstrom, scored his second goal of the season. Jim Hamilton tied the game for Pittsburgh early in the second period, and Lemieux set up Young's second goal of the game with just 9:47 left in the third period for a 3-2 Pittsburgh lead. But Gretzky scored his 13th goal of the season with 3:57 left to forge a 3-3 tie, and of course back in the pre-shootout days, that was that. Gretzky and Lemieux had one point each, and the Oilers outshot the Penguins, 37-36, while the teams went a combined 0-for-3 on the power play.
2021 - Kasperi Kapanen scored three times on Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot to record his first NHL hat trick.
