2nd Period Jersey
The 2011 NHL Winter Classic was played in played at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, PA. The Penguins played host to their division rivals, the Washington Capitals. This was the Penguins second appearance in an outdoor contest, after defeating the Buffalo Sabres in the inaugural Winter Classic in 2008.
The 2011 Winter Classic had originally been scheduled for 1:00 p.m., but due to concerns about rain, on December 31 the game was shifted to an 8:00 p.m. start. A few weeks prior, the possibility was raised that the Winter Classic might be postponed or canceled altogether. All major weather outlets forecast unseasonably warm temperatures for the day of the game, with the possibility of rain. Heavy or constant rain was the greater concern for the NHL, as it could eventually make the ice surface unplayable. The puck was dropped at 8pm and the 2011 Winter Classic became the first night game for the outdoor series.
After a scoreless first period, the Penguins scored early in the second period with Evgeni Malkin's goal. Washington went on to score three unanswered goals, one by Mike Knuble and two by Eric Fehr. The Caps won the game by a final score of 3-1.
Pascal Dupuis wore this jersey during the second period of play. In 17:05 of ice time, Dupuis had 1 shot on goal. He held a -1 rating while skating in 20 shifts throughout the contest. Dupuis' 2nd period jersey was missing the lace in the neck area for some reason. His first and third period jerseys had the lace, making it easier to find photos of Dupuis wearing this specific jersey. The jersey has a Penguins set tag sewn into the rear hem as well as a Meigray serial numbered tag. This jersey is registered into the MeiGray Game Worn Authentication Program as MGG # H 05925.
