WEST VIEW, Pa. -- This season will be the 17th season that Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang have played together.
It's the longest such streak for a trio by a margin of two seasons.
It was only a few months ago that there was a lot of uncertainty over whether that streak would continue, with both Letang and Malkin's new contract negotiations continuing close to the start date of free agency on July 13.
Letang signed first, putting pen to paper on a six-year contract extension through 2027-28 worth $36.
