Penguins, Steelers star Wilson visit cancer patients at UPMC Children’s Hospital

The Pittsburgh Penguins bumped into a fellow city sports star while visiting cancer patients on Tuesday.

During their annual visit to the UPMC Children’s Hospital, the Penguins ran into Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson while meeting with a teenage cancer patient in his room.

“I heard the Penguins were in here so, you know, I had to come in. Say what’s up,” Wilson said after greeting the patient.

Penguins forward Blake Lizotte told the Super Bowl champion it was perfect timing because they had just finished talking about the Steelers.

“I never had this happen… Out of all the rooms that I’ve been in, I’ve never had two different teams, I don’t think from the same city in the same room,” Wilson told the patient. “So, you’re lucky, Bro!”

Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang and Kevin Hayes shared their own special moment with a young cancer patient who gave them high-fives and was interested in the Penguin on their jerseys.

After, the tot blew Crosby a kiss.

The Penguins host their Hockey Fights Cancer Night at PPG Paints Arena on Nov. 19 when they play the Tampa Bay Lightning.
