  • • Penguins Assign Blomqvist to Baby Pens, Recall Nieto and Ponomarev
    The Penguins have assigned rookie goalie Joel Blomqvist to their Wilkes-Barre/Scranton farm club. In a pair of corresponding moves, they recalled forwards Vasily Ponomarev and Matt Nieto from the Baby Pens. Although he endured a rocky outing in his last start, IMHO the 22-year-old Blomqvist was by far the most effective of the Pens’ three goalies this season. He won three of his seven starts and p...2024

  • • Penguins Finalize Roster
    The Penguins made several moves today to whittle their active roster down to the 23-man limit. In the process, becoming cap compliant. The black-and-gold returned defenseman Harrison Brunicke, arguably the most pleasant surprise of training camp and preseason this side of Rutger McGroarty (who made the team!), to the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League. There was some thought the Pens mi...2024

  • • Penguins Update: Letang and Acciari Injured, Harkins Waived
    A quickie update. Defenseman Kris Letang and forward Noel Acciari are being evaluated for injuries in the wake of our 6-3 loss to Detroit. The former’s injury is lower body in nature, the latter’s upper body. No word on the severity of the injuries or how they were hurt. The news would appear to cast trading right-shot defenseman Mark Friedman in an incredibly poor light, especially given Chad Ruh...2023

    The Penguins have finalized their roster on the eve of the season opener with the Blackhawks tomorrow night at PPG Paints Arena. We’ll carry 22 players, one under the limit. They include 12 forwards, 8 defensemen and 2 goalies. Still no official word on the status of PTO invitees Libor Hajek, Mark Pysyk and Austin Wagner.

    Hey all. I just have a moment, but I thought I’d post a brief entry to give everyone a place to share their comments and updates. Or, in Mike Lange speak, a place to cry or wind our collective watches. The Penguins…or should I say Kyle Dubas’ first free-agent deal…signing veteran forward Matt Nieto to a two-year pact with an AAV of $900 K. Yeah boy. Not hard to guess at the particulars. Niet...2023

That’s the situation the shorthanded Avalanche find themselves in, on the brink of a round one elimination just one year removed from lifting the cup themselves. T...2023

    Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports Both teams need two points to keep pace in their division title races. As we head into the final week of the NHL’s regular season, the Colorado Avalanche are slight favorites to win the Central Division, while Edmonton are slight underdogs to overtake Vegas in the chase for the Pacific, and this game will have a dramatic effect on both division races.

    I’ve gone on record as saying I’d love to see the Penguins sign free-agent forward Tomáš Tatar.
