Officially, Ron Hextall was named the eleventh general manager in the history of the Pittsburgh Penguins on February 9th, 2021. By that true anniversary date, the season will have kicked up, so this pause in the scheduling is a perfect time to take a step back and see what Hextall has done during his stint with the Pens.
Here was the lineup for the first game that Hextall was with Pittsburgh. This sets the base of what he inherited from the former manager Jim Rutherford. Not in the lineup due to injury were Brian Dumoulin, Jared McCann, Marcus Pettersson and Evan Rodrigues.
