It was “90s Night” in New Jersey for the Penguins-Devils game Wednesday. The Pens won 4-3.
But the Devils had their fun before the game. Because the team’s number one fictional fan was on hand: Puddy from “Seinfeld.”
Yes, actor Patrick Warburton was in attendance to reprise his role for the 90s Night audience. He even dropped the puck.

But, much like his trip to Norway with Elaine, not everything was smooth for Puddy.

That was like a “bizzaro” Marc-Andre Fleury faceplant in Detroit back in 2008. It was all for a good cause, though. Warburton refused an appearance fee and asked for any money to be donated to St. Jude’s Hospital.
