The Pittsburgh Penguins visit East Rutherford on Saturday night to face the New Jersey Devils. Let's discuss some hockey trivia about their rivalry.

Kelsey and Hannah - along with some input from Penguins' players - discuss whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have yet to play the New Jersey Devils this season, the second-to-last of their Metropolitan Division opponents. The Philadelphia Flyers, the final one, will be in town on Monday.

Tonight is the first of four meetings this season, with the next scheduled at PPG Paints Arena on Feb. 4, 2025.
