# 2023–24 Pittsburgh Penguins season

The 2023–24 Pittsburgh Penguins season was the 57th season (56th season of play) for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.
On June 1, 2023, Kyle Dubas was hired as president of hockey operations and general manager of the Penguins, replacing Brian Burke.
The Penguins were attempting to make the playoffs for the 17th time in 18 years after missing the postseason for the first time since 2006, and ending the longest active playoff appearance streak among the four major North American sports leagues at 16 years. The old Pittsburgh Penguins spot for being the longest active playoffs streak was taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB) who made the playoffs for 10 consecutive years. They were attempting to win the team's sixth Stanley Cup in franchise history and their first since 2017. This is the first season since 2012–13 that Brian Dumoulin is not on the roster, as he went to the Seattle Kraken. Also with MLB's 2023 St. Louis Cardinals having a losing season for the first time since 2007, the Penguins entered the season taking the Cardinals' spot for the third-longest consecutive non-losing season last having a losing season in 2006.
With a win against the Nashville Predators on April 15, 2024, the following night saw the Penguins needing losses by the Detroit Red Wings and Washington Capitals in order to clinch a spot in the playoffs. However, the Penguins were eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive season after the Red Wings defeated the Montreal Canadiens in overtime while the Capitals defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, clinching the final spot as the wild card.
