The outdoor game between the the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Chicago Blackhawks is almost here.
For Saturday’s matchup, Pens’ goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will be donning Steel City inspired equipment. Already revealing the mask he’ll be wearing yesterday – per the Pens’ Twitter handle – Fleury’s pads were released today via Twitter as well.

While Fleury’s mask will be displaying a Steelers helmet theme, his pads are going to be a gold chrome, with indentations that resemble steel.
This is a fantastic looking mask and a great representation for Pittsburgh with how his pads look. Of course, it’ll now be satisfying if he can pull away victorious with his brand new equipment.
Overall though, not too bad Mr. Fleury.
The game on Saturday can be seen on NBC, and is set to start at 8 p.m.
