The Pittsburgh Penguins have made the month of December quite merry for their fanbase as they've used a month full of home games to make up a lot of ground in the standings and pad their place among the playoff teams. Currently, Pittsburgh has 43 points and are eighth in the NHL with a 19-9-5 record. As per usual, the Metropolitan Division is on…

The Pittsburgh Penguins (12-8-4) have points in two straight games, 10 of 12, and are in the first wild-card spot. Their 4-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday was one of the most impressive as the team searches for consistency and dials in the game that fits their roster. They'll host the St. Louis Blues (11-12-0), who also suffered an…

Here's betting the Pittsburgh Penguins navigate a way out of their seven-game losing streak and reach the NHL playoffs for a 17th straight season. Here's admitting I don't see another path besides just playing better. Who the Penguins are and what they do is all but set in stone. They didn't decide to keep the core three only to deal one. Anyway,…

During a long losing streak, when a team expected to get results isn't finding ways to win, tempers always start to flare. The blame game becomes prominent to explain who is at fault for the losses. The Pittsburgh Penguins don't have many immune from criticism after their current 0-5-1 stretch of play that will see them go at least two weeks…

And the next chapter of the Pittsburgh Penguins (20-9-5) season likely begins on Tuesday at the Honda Center against one of the surprise teams of the NHL, the Anaheim Ducks (19-12-7). Penguins center Evgeni Malkin is likely to make his season debut after serious knee surgery in June sidelined him for at least six months. Malkin took like rushes on…

CRANBERRY - Evgeni Malkin will most likely complete his NHL career with the Pittsburgh Penguins, in what he dubbed his second hometown. Only hours before the start of free agency, Malkin signed a four-year deal with clauses that make it buyout proof, essentially guaranteeing his Penguins tenure. On Day 1 of Penguins training camp, he was already in…

by Ben Pessah-Berlin - 10/6/2022 It seems like the narrative is always the same with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Each year they are supposed to fall out of the playoffs and get worse, yet every year they seem to find a way to get in the playoffs. The culture in Pittsburgh is incredible. This is still Sidney Crosby's team, and he has continuously…

The NHL is back which means it's time to find the right long shot team to hitch your wagon to for 2022-23. Favourites have rolled in recent years, with the Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning combining for each of the last three Stanley Cup championships. That said, there are some options a little further down the board that make for…

That was disappointing. The Pittsburgh Penguins built momentum near the end of the regular season to win the NHL's Eastern Conference and earn the No. 1 seed. They went up 2-1 on the New York Islanders in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. And then, everything fell apart. The Penguins lost three straight games en route to a frustrating…

It's a new year and a few days off, so why not look ahead into the cloudy crystal ball for some predictions on the Penguins... The new ownership of Fenway Sports Group has said all the right things in the early days of their stewardship of the team, which officially took effect on December 31st. That boils down to basically stating that they want…

Coaches have not yet publicly shared the image of their puzzle. The Pittsburgh Penguins' corner pieces are in place. We know where Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, and even Jeff Petry will line up. In the subsequent roster assembly, we'll find out if head coach Mike Sullivan can see the schooner in the 3D picture. The last line is a Kevin…
