Before playing in the NHL, Penner played parts of one year with the Maine Black Bears of the Hockey East. He had a successful time with the Black Bears, being named to the All-NCAA All-Tournament Team.[1]

He was not drafted by an NHL team. On May 12, 2004, Penner signed a three-year, $3.4 million entry-level contract to join the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim of the National Hockey League (NHL).[2] He was immediately sent down to play for their AHL-affiliate Cincinnati Mighty Ducks. On November 23, 2005, the Mighty Ducks called him up and Penner made his NHL debut in a 3–1 loss against the Dallas Stars.[3] Two days later on October 8, Penner recorded his first NHL career point, assisting on a Andy McDonald goal in a 3–1 win against the Detroit Red Wings.[4] On November 30, Penner scored his first NHL career goal against David LeNeveu in a 6–1 win against the Phoenix Coyotes. He also scored another goal in the game.[5] He helped the Ducks during the playoffs. They defeated the Minnesota Wild, Vancouver Canucks, and the Detroit Red Wings. They eventually went on to defeat the Ottawa Senators four games to one in the Final to win the first Stanley Cup in Ducks franchise history.[6]

On August 1, 2007, Penner signed a five-year, $21.25 million contract to join to the Edmonton Oilers.[7] On October 22, 2009, the Ducks faced the Columbus Blue Jackets. During the game, Penner recorded five points (two goals and three assists) in a 6–4 victory.[8]

On February 28, 2011, the Oilers traded Penner to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Colten Teubert, a 2011 first-round draft pick and a 2012 conditional third-round pick.[9] He helped the Kings during the playoffs. They defeated the Vancouver Canucks, St. Louis Blues, and the Phoenix Coyotes. They eventually went on to defeat the New Jersey Devils four games to two in the Final to win the first Stanley Cup in Kings franchise history.[10] On July 1, 2012, Penner signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract to stay with the Kings.[11]

On July 16, 2013, Penner signed a one-year, $2 million contract to rejoin the Anaheim Ducks.[12] He played 49 games in his return to the Ducks, scoring 13 goals and recording 19 assists.
