The Pittsburgh Penguins teamed up with NBC Sports Network on Tuesday night for a classic “Slap Shot” game.
The event included famous sportscaster Bob Costas returning to where he began his career — in the Johnstown, Pa., arena where the 1977 movie took place — and the Penguins were more-than-willing participants, ultimately defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2.
Check out some of the best photos and GIFs from the night below.
