• Penguins Goaltenders: Counterpoint
*This post is in response to my friend Rick Buker’s latest post on Penguins’ Goaltenders When was the last time a Pittsburgh Penguins’ prospect made any national, top ten prospect list for any position? I can’t even remember. Certainly, not during the nightmare Mike Sullivan, black hole era. Jake Guentzel did turn out to be a star, but he was a 3rd round draft pick who finished his career out in c...2025Read about Mike Sullivan breaking news today

• Penguins Goaltending: The Chicken or the Egg?
I was casting about this morning, pondering what I could possibly write about when I was reminded of a recent conversation with Other Rick regarding the state of the Penguins’ goaltending. Which dovetails with an overarching question that’s been on my mind. Namely, was our poor goaltending a direct result of our watery defense (third-most goals allowed in the league)? Or did porous netminding (13 ...2025Read about Tristan Jarry rumors

• Not An Overnight FixIt would be foolish of me to suggest that today's trade made by the Pittsburgh Penguins to acquire Artūrs Šilovs from the Vancouver Canucks solves their goaltending woes that have been witnessed over the last few years, but it's a start. That's not to say that Šilovs can't come into Pittsburgh, win 30 games, and give this team a shot at the playoffs, but I can't see it happening immediately. Šilov...2025Visit the page Pittsburgh Penguins

• Penguins Acquire Goalie Silovs from Canucks
Just when I was rather blissfully settling into deep a summertime hockey slumber, Kyle Dubas had to go and pull off another trade. The Penguins’ POHO/GM acquired 24-year-old goalie Arturs Silovs from old friend Jimmy Rutherford’s Canucks for minor-league forward Chase Stillman and a fourth-round pick in the 2027 Entry Draft. My initial reaction…surprise bordering on shock. Especially since P...2025Check it out Kyle Dubas

• Penguins Free-Agent Update: Dubas Turns ‘Em Loose
The Penguins made decisions on their pending UFAs and RFAs ahead of the start of free agency. With the exception of forward Vasily Ponomarev, who’s slated to play in the KHL this season, Kyle Dubas didn’t extend qualifying offers to any of our pending RFAs despite being in contact with the agents of Connor Dewar (pictured) and Philip Tomasino. I’m disappointed that we didn’t qualify Dewar, a gritt...2025Click for news about Kyle Dubas headline news

• Defense: The Penguins’ White Elephant
It’s no secret. The Penguins were one of the absolute worst defensive teams in the NHL this season. Only the lowly, rebuilding Blackhawks and Sharks allowed more than the 287 non-shootout goals (293 total) yielded by the black-and-gold. It’s no better on an organizational level. Despite the presence of highly touted goalies-of-the-future Joel Blomqvist and Sergei Murashov, the Baby Pens and Nailer...2025Continue with Cale Makar news

• Penguins Update: Growing Pains and Playoff Struggles
Uh…we might need to hold the phone a bit before we start anointing some of our kids as sure bets. To say things haven’t exactly gone as planned for our farm clubs in the minor-league playoffs to date would be an understatement of the highest magnitude. Sans top guns Rutger McGroarty and Emil Bemström, the Baby Pens got trampled by arch-rival Lehigh Valley at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre l...2025Visit the page Rutger McGroarty injury report

• Penguins Update: Time to Jettison Jarry?
A quickie game-day post ahead of the Penguins-Maple Leafs tilt to discuss the plight of our goaltending. Not only are Alex Nedeljkovic and rookie Joel Blomqvist having difficulty stopping pucks at the big-league level (with a huge assist to atrocious team defense) but the malaise has spread to the minor leagues as well. Or more specifically, Tristan Jarry. Indeed, it would appear the former All-St...2025Click for news about Maple Leafs injury status

• Fixing The MessThe Pittsburgh Penguins have had some pretty incredible defencemen in their franchise history. The likes of Larry Murphy, Paul Coffey, Sergei Zubov, Sergei Gonchar, Kevin Hatcher, Ulf Samuelsson, Marty McSorley, Darius Kasparaitis, and Kris Letang have all been players I've witnessed in the Penguins' black-and-yellow in my time, and it's pretty amazing to think that the franchise has had this many...2023Read about Pittsburgh Penguins

• Avalanche fans should have all eyes on the now-healthy Justus Annunen’s return to the ice
Photo by Peter Kovalev\TASS via Getty Images The Colorado Avalanche, by all accounts, aren’t likely to see goaltender Justus Annunen in North America this season. He’s been loaned for the year to Kärpät, where he’ll finish out the extension he signed last summer before getting ready to show off what he can do for the team that drafted him in 2018. It’s the internet age, though, making it easie...2020Click for news about Justus Annunen

• What the Penguins Lineup Might Look Like Next Season
I was pondering our Penguins the other day when a thought popped into my noggin. Namely, what will our lineup look like next season? So inspired, I began to parse our current roster to see who might stick around and who might go. I’ll start with the expected departures. Any or all of the following UFAs-to-be could be plying their respective trades for other teams next season. I’ll include pending ...2025Check it out Cody Glass trade rumors

• At Last a Reason to Smile: Penguins Sign Murashov
I confess, starting with the questionable acquisition of veteran forward Kevin Hayes and running on through some checkered free-agent pickups, the Penguins haven’t exactly given me a whole lot of reasons to smile this summer. Even the relatively upbeat news that we signed top prospects Brayden Yager and Tanner Howe (who I really like) to entry-level contracts failed to significantly buoy my saggin...2024See more articles Kevin Hayes salary

The other day, my colleague Caleb Di’Natale sent me a text displaying his new and improved black-and-gold lineup for the coming season.

Departures included Erik Karlsson, Ryan Graves, Pierre-Olivier Joseph, Rickard Rakell a...2024Read about Sam Reinhart contract

• Penguins Trade Deadline: The Morning After
A few jumbled thoughts in the aftermath of yesterday’s NHL trade deadline. I confess to being as surprised as anyone that our Penguins weren’t more active. I even posted a trade tracker on PP to keep track of deals as they hit the wire and kept checking the trade tracker on NHL.com and other sources every few minutes for updates. Crickets. Guess you can blame it on me. Anything I anticipate ...2024Check it out Tristan Jarry contract

Hey all. Just thought I’d post a deadline day trade tracker to keep track of Penguins transactions. I’ll be adding deals as they happen. The most recent…an exchange of goalies. We swapped our No. 3 netminder Magnus Hellberg to Florida for Ludovic Waeber. Waeber, 27, spent his entire career in Switzerland prior to this season. The 6’1″ 187-pounder has split time betwee...2024See more Magnus Hellberg salary rumors

• Penguins This ‘n’ ‘At: They’re Baaaack
Just a few odds and ends to report. Following a lengthy break, the Penguins regathered for practice yesterday in Cranberry. Assistant coach Mike Vellucci ran the practice in Mike Sullivan’s absence. In the (very) good news department, previously injured forwards Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust were full participants. Defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok, claimed on waivers from Utah just prior to the 4 N...2025Check it out Evgeni Malkin stats

• Stars Humble Penguins, 7-1
Seventeen games into what’s shaping up as a lost season (or season of losses), I’ve come to the inescapable conclusion that our Penguins are a bad hockey team. Yeah, I know. Talk about a Captain Obvious observation, huh? There were signs to that effect prior to last night’s 7-1 capitulation to the Stars, on home ice no less. But this latest fiasco poured a fresh layer of Quikrete on the proceeding...2024See also Alex Nedeljkovic statistics

• Penguins Find Goalie, Fall to Leafs 4-2
For our Penguins, last night’s 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena was a mixed bag of good, generously seasoned with a whole lotta bad. First the good. Evgeni Malkin, one of the few bright spots, assisted on both of our goals, giving him 1300 points for his career. CONGRATS Geno! Kris Letang scored a power-play goal, our second in two games. Perhaps most significantly, we’ve found ours...2024See more articles Maple Leafs

• Hurricanes Blow Past Penguins, 4-1
As I watched Carolina skate over, around and through our Penguins last night en route to a thoroughly convincing 4-1 victory at PPG Paints Arena, I couldn’t help but be impressed. After all, the Hurricanes hemorrhaged a passel of quality players over the summer, including ex-Pen Jake Guentzel, Teuvo Teräväinen and defensive mainstays Brett Pesce and Brady Skjei, and they haven’t missed a beat.

• Penguins Update: It Sure is Nice to Have Some Kids to Talk About
I was rereading some articles about Saturday’s 7-3 preseason shellacking at the hands of an established Sabres squad when a thought struck me. Isn’t it great…not to mention fun…to have some kids to be excited about? Rutger McGroarty, Tristan Broz, Ville Koivunen, Vasily Ponomarev, Tanner Howe, Harrison Brunicke to name a few. Goalies Sergei Murashov and Joel Blomqvist, too, the latter’s leaky perf...2024See also Rutger McGroarty

• Rangers Rally, Dump Skidding Penguins, 5-3
The Penguins’ down-bound train continued to roll unabated this afternoon at PPG Paints Arena with a 5-3 come-in-front loss to the Rangers. Once again, the Pens dictated play for a good chunk of the contest. We were particularly dominant in the second period, piling up a whopping 35-10 edge in shot attempts, including an equally staggering 18-4 advantage in shots on goal. Alas, between Rangers netm...2025Click for news about PPG Paints

• Seattle slew our Penguins
What a disgrace, a comedy of errors our Pittsburgh Penguins have become under the Mike Sullivan – Kyle Dubas Regime. Last night’s debacle in Seattle against the Kraken encapsulated all that we can expect under this Laurel and Hardy leadership. Barely two minutes and eight seconds into the second period Kris Letang fumbled the puck. Chandler Stephenson scooped up the biscuit that was too hot for ...2025Read about Pittsburgh Penguins

• Decent Start Goes Pfft, Penguins Defense Dissolves in Humbling 8-3 Loss to Caps
In their first game following the 4 Nations Face-Off, our Pittsburgh Penguins played a strong, dare I say dominating at times, opening 20 minutes. After gifting an early goal to Capitals rookie Ethan Frank on a team kerfuffle, the Pens tied it late in the first period on a power-play goal by Kris Letang, thanks to a terrific play off the wall and feed by Evgeni Malkin. The Caps retook the lead ear...2025Continue with Pittsburgh Penguins

• Look Out Below: Free-Falling Penguins Krunched by Kraken
Our flickering playoff hopes evaporating faster than a puddle in the heart of Death Valley, the Penguins bumbled their way to a 4-1 loss to the Kraken yesterday afternoon in Seattle. Contrary to the final outcome, the Pens did a lot of things right, in general carrying the play to the tune of a 69-46 edge in shot attempts and a 29-25 advantage in shots on goal. Our third line of Kevin Hayes center...2025See also Kevin Hayes

• Tuckered Penguins Fall Short in DC
Far be it from me to put forth a defeatist notion or make excuses. However, there are some games a hockey team is more-or-less destined to lose. Last night’s 4-1 Penguins loss to the Capitals? A classic example. The Pens arrived in DC late Saturday night following an emotional victory over the Sabres. Our Metro rivals were well rested and waiting. While the defeat certainly wasn’t for a lack of ef...2025Check it out Jakob Chychrun
