The Pittsburgh Penguins finish 2024 with one more road game in the Motor City against the Detroit Red Wings. Here's tonight's game-day hockey trivia.

Sidney Crosby is on the brink of scoring a whole lot of goals - and his linemates aren't doing too bad for themselves, either. Is this the best line in hockey right now?
