In honor of Veteran's Day, the Pens wore special camouflage jerseys during the pregame warm-up. The jerseys will be auctioned off later for charity.
In honor of it being a hockey night in Pittsburgh, the Pens dominated one of the top teams from the Western Conference.
Continue below to check out our photos plus a pretty sweet video of Matt Cooke's penalty shot goal.
More looks at the camo jerseys.
Alex Goligoski made his first return to Pittsburgh since being traded to Dallas at the deadline last season.
Unfortunately Gogo got hurt. Sounds like he may miss some games.
Mark Fistric also missed some time due to injury after taking a puck to the throat. Luckily he was able to return and play a key role later in the game.
Had to get a few shots of the new guy.
I always love a good faceoff pic, but especially when it includes the man, the myth, the legend, Pens photographer Gregory Shamus in the background.
Anybody come up with a name for these guys yet? The Twitter Line (@malkin71_ @jneal_18 @Sullivan26)? SNM Line? Just throwing those out there for consideration.

Disallowed goals were the order of the day. This one got past Let-one-in but it was waved off when the officials determined that Kunitz had made incidental contact with the Stars' netminder.
As promised earlier, Fistric has returned from injury in time to deflect the puck into his own net to give the Pens the lead.
Cookie netted the penalty shot goal to put the Pens up 3-1.
Cookie surprised a lot of us with that move. Some have attributed it to his renewed dedication to playing hockey "the right way". Others will credit Jack Adams Award Winning Head Coach Dan Bylsma and the time spent in practice working on the shootout. I'm going with the fact that Cookie was photographed earlier that day holding @PensKnittngLady's lucky sock.
A stunned Fistric looks on as his team is forced to pull the goalie for one last, desperate try.
No time to rest as the Pens are headed to Raleigh for a Saturday night match-up against the Hurricanes.
