Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Spencer Stastney addressed the media following the team's 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena on October 17, 2026. The game marked a historic milestone for Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, though the Golden Knights dominated the contest.
Stastney, wearing number 24, was among the Penguins players who spoke after the defeat in Las Vegas. The loss dropped Pittsburgh to 0-1-0 on the young season while Vegas improved to 1-0-0.
Crosby's historic achievement occurred during the game, though the Penguins were unable to capitalize on the moment as Vegas built a commanding lead. The Golden Knights' offense proved too much for Pittsburgh's defense, which included Stastney logging significant ice time.
Post-game comments from the Penguins locker room focused on the need to regroup quickly ahead of their next matchup. Stastney emphasized the importance of learning from the lopsided result and improving defensive structure moving forward.
