Cooper Black is set to make his NHL debut tonight in Pittsburgh, becoming the tallest goaltender in NHL history. The Panthers now officially list him at 6’9”, 250 pounds. For reference, I’m 5’7” 😂

The Penguins have canceled their practice scheduled for today. Understandable coming off a difficult day yesterday.
