PITTSBURGH – When the Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Boston Bruins on March 9, it will be a special presentation for the league. The NHL announced that puck drop between the Penguins and Bruins in Boston will be their second ever “Big City Greens Classic.”

Players on the Penguins and Bruins will be modeled after the Disney Channel animated series “Big City Greens” and will be aired live on ESPN+, Disney Channel, Disney XD, and Disney+. The traditional broadcast of the game will be held on ABC and ESPN+.
This will be the Penguins first time hitting the ice following the March 8 NHL trade deadline.
