Penguins players visit the hospital annually to deliver gifts, pose for photos and sign autographs.

Due to current restrictions, only two players could visit patients, so Kris Letang and Tristan Jarry visited rooms while Jason Zucker and Pierre-Olivier Joseph hosted a virtual show from the hospital’s Dream Big Studio that was streamed to all patient rooms.
