Penguins’ Josh Archibald has three-week-old baby baptized in Stanley Cup

Aug 31, 2017 | 10:30 PM

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Josh Archibald spent his day with the Stanley Cup in a unique way earlier this week.

The Hockey Hall of Fame’s Keeper of the Cup, Philip Pritchard, tweeted a pair of pictures on Wednesday showing Archibald’s three-week old son, Brecken, being baptized inside the Cup in Brainerd, Minn.

One photo shows a priest pouring water from the Cup over the child’s head while the other is of Archibald and wife Bailey kissing Brecken as he lay inside the Cup.

The 24-year-old Archibald played in four games for Pittsburgh during its Stanley Cup playoff run as the Penguins beat the Nashville Predators for their second straight title.
