The Penguins’ Max Talbot scores his second goal past Red Wings goaltender Chris Osgood during the second period in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final Friday June 12, 2009 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

Broadcasters continue to churn out reruns of memorable games and other content as a way of keeping jilted sports fans engaged. AT&T SportsNet is making sure there’s plenty for Pittsburgh Penguins to view.

Starting Monday and over the next two weeks, the Penguins rightsholders will broadcast documentaries and other Penguins content — highlighted by replays of each of the four Penguins victories during the 2009 Stanley Cup Final.

March 30 and 31 and April 6 and 8 at 7 p.m. each day will be Games 3, 4, 6 and 7, respectively, of the Penguins games against the Detroit Red Wings. The latter of which is the game in which the Penguins claimed the Stanley Cup for the first time in 17 years with a 2-1 victory highlighted by Max Talbot’s two goals and Marc-Andre Fleury’s last-second save.

Coincidentally or not, April 8 was the scheduled start of the Stanley Cup playoffs before the NHL’s season was “paused” amid fears of the coronavirus spread.

Also part of the AT&TSN programming scheduled in regards to the Penguins during this spring absence of hockey are several airings of “In The Room,” “Pens Pulse” and “Inside Penguins Hockey.”

The NHL Network also has planned for an informal “Penguins day” Wednesday. According to the network’s listings, episodes of “Pens Pulse” and “In The Room” will run most of the afternoon that day. That evening at 8, a simulcast of the Penguins’ 50th anniversary documentary of 2018, “Pittsburgh is Home — The Story of the Penguins,” will air on both AT&T SportsNet and NHL Network, in addition to on the Penguins’ official YouTube channel.

Keep up with the Pittsburgh Penguins all season long.
