The Penguins’ Patric Hornqvist (72) scores against the San Jose Sharks during a game at PPG Paints Arena on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020.

It was a throwback Thursday for the Pittsburgh Penguins as they took on the San Jose Sharks.

The team hosted an ’80s theme night for the Jan. 2 game.

Team mascot Iceburgh came ready with a Smiths T-shirt. But AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh broadcaster Dan Potash stole the show with his outfit, dressed as the late WWE legend “Macho Man” Randy Savage.

The Penguins had a slew of ’80s inspired digital elements for the game, as well.

Great Scott!

Here are the very colorful Penguins lines.
