The Penguins have been reaching out to the Humboldt Broncos from afar since a bus crash killed more than a dozen members of that junior hockey organization in Canada last month. Wednesday night, they welcomed a member of the team and a survivor of the crash into their home.
Brayden Camrud was recognized on the scoreboard during the first period of Game 3 against the Capitals Wednesday at PPG Paints Arena.

Camrud, a guest of former Penguins winger Colby Armstrong, received an ovation from the arena crowd and stick taps from the Penguins down at ice level.
