PITTSBURGH — The bobbleheads are back.

This weekend, fans wanting to get in on the Jaromir Jagr bobblehead frenzy can join in on the action at PPG Paints Arena.

Another set of Jagr bobbleheads will be given away to the first 7,500 fans in attendance at Saturday’s Pittsburgh Penguins game versus the Ottawa Senators.

Last season, NHL legend Jagr had his number retired by the Pittsburgh Penguins. The team planned a giveaway for Jagr bobbleheads on March 14, but the shipment was famously stolen after arriving in California.

According to the Penguins, a special cargo recovery team negotiated the return of the bobbleheads to a warehouse in California. They were returned to PPG Paints Arena in early April.
