Last week, The Athletic ran a series of stories highlights the best players to wear their respective numbers across a variety of sports. A handful of current and former Penguins made the NHL list and sprung an idea here at Pensburgh to determine which players wore it best when they donned the famous skating penguin.
There have been 81 unique numbers worn in Penguins history, with many being easy selections (numbers with only one or two players; mostly higher numbers) while others (multiple players; lower numbers) required some debate and number crunching to determine a winner.
