There could be a new owner involved in the Penguins going forward.
The Fenway Sports Group wants to “explore selling a minority stake” in the Penguins this week, according to ESPN’s Emily Kaplan and Kevin Weekes.
FSG hasn’t yet decided how much of the team they want to sell, but the ownership group plans to retain a controlling stake in the team, according to Kaplan and Weekes.
Kaplan and Weekes noted that any sale would have to be approved by the NHL Board of Governors before it becomes official, but that the potential minority stake sale “would not be viewed as unusual” given the influx of private equity already coming into NHL teams.
