Joel Blomqvist news, rumors

  • • Penguins Sign Chinakhov, Šilovs and Two Others
    Penguins POHO/GM Kyle Dubas signed four of his team’s RFAs to contract extensions yesterday. The most prominent, 24-year-old forward Egor Chinakhov, agreed to a three-year deal with an AAV of $6.25 million. He becomes the team’s third-highest paid player, behind Erik Karlsson and Sidney Crosby. The speedy right wing with the wicked shot and release piled up 18 goals and 36 points in only 43 games ...2026

    The Pittsburgh Penguins did not make a splash when they re-signed goaltender Joel Blomqvist on July 5. They did not name him their future starter or make the kind of…...2026

  • • How Are the Penguins Gonna Get Their Next Sid?
    It’s fair to say that in his three short seasons at the Penguins’ helm, Kyle Dubas has done a marvelous job of refilling what were largely barren prospect coffers. In the process, he’s transformed Wilkes-Barre/Scranton from a team stocked largely with has-beens and never-weres into one of the youngest and arguably most talented clubs in the AHL. Indeed, the Baby Pens ooze promise, particularly up ...2026

  • • Penguins Update: What Now?
    Now that the dust is settling on one of the most entertaining and rewarding, yet ultimately disappointing seasons in recent memory, all eyes are on Penguins POHO/GM Kyle Dubas. More specifically, how he plans to navigate the upcoming offseason. One rife with roster-altering decisions. Including the likes of Sebastian Aho who toiled exclusively in the minors, no fewer than 14 players currently unde...2026
  • • The Great Penguins Goalie Debate
    If you read PenguinPoop on a regular basis and especially the comments section, no doubt you’ve noticed there’s somewhat of a debate going on between Other Rick and yours truly. My esteemed colleague and friend, himself a former goalie, doesn’t think much of our current goaltending tandem of Arturs Šilovs and Stuart Skinner. He firmly believes our best goalies, Sergei Murashov (pictured) and Joel ...2026

    PROVIDENCE, R.I. – In a clash of Eastern Conference titans, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins stood tall with a 1-0 defeat of the Providence Bruins on Saturday night at Amica Mutual Pavilion.

Joel Blomqvist injury and suspension

  • • Penguins Activate McGroarty and Blomqvist
    At long last, a little good news on the injury front. The Penguins today activated goalie Joel Blomqvist and power forward Rutger McGroarty. Both have been assigned to the Baby Pens. Blomqvist hasn’t played since stopping all 11 shots he faced during a 2-1 preseason shootout loss to the Canadiens back on September 22. For McGroarty, the wait’s been even longer. He hasn’t suited up since he was fel...2025
  • • 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...2025

  • • 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...2025

  • • 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...2025
  • • 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...2025

  • Fixing The Mess
    • Fixing The Mess
    The 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...2023
  • • 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...2020

    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.

Any or all of the following UFAs-to-be could be plying their respective trades for other teams next season. I’ll include pending ...2025

    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.

    Now that the Penguins’ youth movement has begun in earnest, several youngsters are expected to earn spots this season, with forwards Ville Koivunen and Rutger McGroarty considered virtual locks. On the far side of the blue line, defenseman Owen Pickering and goalies Arturs Silovs and Joel Blomqvist are solid bets to see action with the black and gold as well. Perhaps even the highly regarded duo o...2025

  • • 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 ...2025

    It 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...2025

    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...2025

    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.

But this latest fiasco poured a fresh layer of Quikrete on the proceeding...2024
  • • 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...2024

    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.

    If I’m reading the tea leaves correctly (not always a given), this should be the season when the Penguins’ youth movement kicks off in earnest.
