The Pittsburgh Penguins took on the Philadelphia Flyers at an outdoor game in Pittsburgh on Saturday night as part of the Stadium Series.

But it was the real-life penguins that stole the show at the Steelers' Heinz Field prior to the game.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Crosby, Kessel, Kunitz, Letang, Malkin, Murray and Sully came courtesy of the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium.

The Penguins, no doubt aided by their fine-feathered friends, ultimately beat the Flyers 4-2.
