Even though they will never be synonymous with the team, two former Pittsburgh Penguins were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame this week when it was announced on Wednesday that Marian Hossa and Jarome Iginla are part of the 2020 class.
Their induction means that there have now been — as of this moment — 14 different Hall of Fame players to dress for the Penguins in franchise history.
That number will increase by one next year when Jaromir Jagr is all but certain to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Then probably a decade from now Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin will continue to add to the list, with maybe a few other players eventually joining them.
