*Boy this team looks real bad right now, huh? Last night’s game in Pittsburgh did not do a lot to inspire any confidence that they’re going to figure it out any time soon. Rangers tomorrow; one assumes a large number of their annoying fans will be taking the train down. Should be a real party. RECAP !

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. […]

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...

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.

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 […]

Over the course of their three game losing streak, the Pittsburgh Penguins have registered just two goals as the offense has suddenly gone dry. While the goaltending and defense have been stellar over the same stretch, it’s going to be hard to win any games when the goal scoring completely evaporates the way it has […]

It took a little longer than most of the games in this stretch, but the Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their franchise-best 11th win in a row as they took down the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1, in a shootout. It was a goaltending battle as Andrei Vasilevskiy picked up his 350th career win by stopping 26-of-27 shots while Arturs Silovs matched him shot-for-shot in regulation with 30 saves.
It was a scoreless first period, something that the Lightning haven’t seen much of recently, but there was...

Joonas Korpisalo just gave the Boston Bruins a reminder of what the best case looks like, stopping all 27 shots in a recent 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins for his first shutout of the season. The timing is interesting because Boston has been gauging the market on Korpisalo , and the chatter around the league is that moving him is much harder than simply wanting to. He is 31, has been up and down as Jeremy Swayman’s backup, and the contract baggage is real with two years left ...
