Penguins' 'HBK' line finally meets namesake Shawn Michaels

A good cause finally brought some champions together.

For the first time since Pittsburgh's trio of Phil Kessel, Carl Hagelin, and Nick Bonino was dubbed the 'HBK' line during the run to the 2016 Stanley Cup, the Penguins forwards met former WWE Champion Shawn Michaels, the Heartbreak Kid himself.

The foursome gathered at a fundraiser for the Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, with the main event being the shaving of former Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel's beard.

The Penguins players took the opportunity to don the team's new Stadium Series jerseys.

The trio also signed a special jersey, which was auctioned off at the event.

Meeting Michaels at a beard-shaving event gave a whole new meaning to "sweet chin music."
