PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The Pittsburgh Penguins plan to honor the newly-retired Ben Roethlisberger at PPG Paints Arena on March 29.

The game against the New York Rangers begins at 7 p.m.
In addition, the Penguins will have additional giveaways for their 10 remaining regular-season home games.
The highlights include a hat giveaway on March 22, a Rally Towel giveaway on April 9, bandanas on April 14 and t-shirts on April 21.
The Penguins will host the fourth annual Her Hockey Day when they play the Detroit Red Wings on March 27 of the NHL's Gender Equality Month.
