1975–76 Pittsburgh Penguins season

The 1975–76 Pittsburgh Penguins season was their 9th in the National Hockey League. They finished 3rd in the Norris Division, as they had in 1974–75. Despite strong seasons by Pierre Larouche, who set new club records in goals scored in a season (53) and points in a season (111), Jean Pronovost and Syl Apps, Jr. (who set a new club record for assists in a season with 67) the Penguins powerful offense scored a meagre three goals in three games against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Preliminary round and lost 2 games to 1.
