November 28, 2014
After rocketing out of the gate, the Pittsburgh Penguins have a jam-packed schedule until the end of the year. With a hefty 11 games at home before that point, the Pens will look to improve on their Eastern Conference-leading 15-4-2 record. Getting them there will be goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who’s enjoying a career year in net for the Pens. The veteran goalie is currently tied for the league lead in shutouts and places in a tie for third in total wins.
Here are the Penguins’ home ticket prices throughout the 2014 holiday season.

12/15 vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Average Price: $143.94 | Get-in: $50
