Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins welcomed the Philadelphia Flyers to Pittsburgh on Thursday for a rather meaningful Metropolitan Division clash. Two minutes into the game, the Penguins claimed a 1-0 lead via a Justin Brazeau tally and never looked back. Sidney Crosby recorded another goal and assist, as […]
The Penguins got out to an early lead, held on for dear life and gave themselves enough of a cushion to take a 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night. Pittsburgh snapped a three-game losing streak and broke out of a slump where they only produced two total goals in those three games. […]
The Philadelphia Flyers extended their losing streak, this one a 6-3 loss to the Penguins in a game that saw Denver Barkey with a pair of assists and Matvei Michkov fighting for the first time, sticking up for the youngster in the third period. The basics First period: 2:16- Justin Brazeau (Ben Kindel, Anthony Mantha) (PPG), 12:25- Bryan Rust (Kris Letang, Sidney Crosby) (PPG) Second period: 1:16- Egor Chinakhov (Evgeni Malkin, Tommy Novak), 2:17- Rodrigo Abols (Cam York, Carl Grunds...
While the Philadelphia Flyers were getting embarrassed in Pittsburgh, Matvei Michkov stepped up to show some fight — literally. Michkov has been more active in scrums recently and nearly got his first career fight on Wednesday night against Peyton Krebs, but the referees broke it up. He’s been itching to drop the gloves, and he didn’t let the opportunity pass him by on Thursday night in Pittsburgh. Blake Lizotte lined up Denver Barkey with a hit in the neutral zone, and Michkov chase...
The Houston Texans handled business last weekend, dismantling the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round and setting up a road matchup against the New England Patriots this Sunday afternoon. C.J. Stroud came out sharp early, but the game started to slip a bit as turnovers crept in — an interception and multiple fumbles that […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers will look much different in 2026 than they have in the last 19 years. Head coach Mike Tomlin stepped down after the team’s wild card loss to the Houston Texans, marking the seventh straight postseason defeat for the team. With Tomlin gone, questions arose about which, if any, assistants would be retained […]

And just like that, the Flyers’ brief road trip is already coming to a close. After a tough outing last night in Buffalo, the Flyers are heading into Pittsburgh hoping against all hope that they can find a way to turn a corner and stop their losing streak from stretching to five games. Desperation is mounting, and the Flyers need now more than ever to find a way to get things breaking their way again.

UPDATE: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that wide receiver Brandon Johnson, not wide receiver Brandon Smith, signed with the Steelers. As the Steelers continue their search for a new head coach, general manager Omar Khan has also began to construct the team’s offseason 90-man roster. The Steelers announced Thursday that the team […]
The Detroit Lions joined the list of potential suitors for Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, requesting an interview with him for their vacant offensive coordinator job, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Thursday. Rapoport added that Smith “is still in the mix for multiple (head coaching jobs) and has significant coordinator interest.” A potential move to […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have hit the ground running with their head coaching search. At the time of writing, they have requested interviews with six candidates, five of whom are defensive coordinators. However, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky believes the Steelers should turn their attention to Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur “The first step I would […]
Nine NFL teams have head coaching openings at the present time, and although no contract extension has yet been announced between the Green Bay Packers and Matt LaFleur, momentum seems to be pushing towards the two sides coming to a deal. That would keep the number at nine, and Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is […]
The NFL is still feeling the waves from the massive splash that was Mike Tomlin stepping down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The longest-tenured head coach in American sports addressed the team the same way he has at the end of every season, but this time was different, as he told the team […]
A nightmare has struck the city of Philadelphia. During the Flyers’ big and embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday night, goaltender Dan Vladar suffered an injury and had to be pulled after the first period. While the Flyers confirmed the swap to put Sam Ersson in was due to injury (and not for allowing two goals on five shots in 20 minutes), the true confirmation that Vladar is going to at least miss Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins came the morning after. Accor...
Entering their game on Thursday night, Pittsburgh Penguins rookie Ben Kindel will be riding a 14-game goal-less drought. Beyond that, he has just one goal in his past 19 games going back to early December. That does not necessarily mean he has not been playing well (because he still has been), but it is still […]
On January 16th in 2010, Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins shoved defenseman Willie Mitchell head first into the boards with his team trailing by four goals with 7 minutes to play. Mitchell sustained a concussion on the play forcing him to miss the remaining 105 days (46 games) of the Vancouver Canucks season and jeopardizing his off-season free agent value. Malkin, meanwhile, received

It’s been a Pittsburgh winter this year, definitely colder and more precipitation than in years past, and I’m pretty much over winter at this point. Which makes it all that more special that the Pittsburgh Pirates released their 2026 MLB Spring Training dates yesterday. We’re only roughly three weeks from pitchers and catchers, y’all, as […]
Over the course of their three game losing streak, the Pittsburgh Penguins have registered just two goals as the offense has suddenly gone dry.
