Eddie Johnston (Mar-Apr) interim

The 1982–83 Pittsburgh Penguins season was their 16th in the National Hockey League (NHL). This was the Penguins worst season to date, winning a meager 18 games and accumulating only 45 points: they finished in last place in the NHL, thus ending their four-season playoff streak.

General Manager Baz Bastien was killed as a result of an automobile collision on March 15, 1983. The team wore black armbands on their home jerseys for the remainder of the season in his honor.
