2022–23 Pittsburgh Penguins season
National Hockey League season
The 2022–23 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 56th season for the National Hockey League team that was established on June 5, 1967.
During the season Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang each played in their 1,000th NHL game, joining Sidney Crosby as the only players in franchise history to accomplish this feat while playing all 1,000 games for the Penguins.
They were eliminated from playoff contention on April 12, 2023 after the New York Islanders defeated the Montreal Canadiens, missing the postseason for the first time since the 2005–06 season, and ending the longest active playoff appearance streak among the four major North American sports leagues at 16 years. Consequently, the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB), making the playoffs every year since 2013, now owned the longest active playoffs streak across four major North American professional sports while the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer (MLS) do the same in all five North American professional sports, making the playoffs every year since 2010. Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs now own the longest active playoffs streaks in the NHL, both at 7 years after both the Nashville Predators and Washington Capitals, both had eight straight playoff berths, missed out.

Why this record matters
The phrase “national Hockey League season” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q113364952. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 1967, 2023 and 2005.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
