The Carolina Hurricanes scored three power play goals and dominated the Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-1 on Sunday afternoon in the Steel City.

Recap of the game.
Pregame The Penguins get Sam Girard from injury and are about as healthy as they’re going to get this season with the only unavailable player of note being Blake Lizotte. First period The Penguins score on the second shift of the game on a sensational effort by Egor Chinakhov. Chinakhov takes a pass that Evgeni […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Egor Chinakhov in a trade this past December. The move was a fulfillment of a request Chinakhov made to Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell beforehand. Since Dec. 29th, Chinakhov has played 30 games for the Penguins, and scored 22 points (11-11) as a top-six forward playing alongside fellow Russian forward, Evgenii Malkin, and center Tommy Novak. A stark contrast to his time in Columbus, where he was arguably underutilized, scra...

Ryan Shea is such an unassuming player on the ice that in a way it’s sadly fitting that his breakout season has been overshadowed by multiple teammates taking up more of the spotlight. The Penguins have gotten plenty of positive surprises this season, starting with 18-year old Ben Kindel’s steady amazing play. Add in a […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have certainly changed the expectations for themselves this season. When the 2025-26 season began, most people were anticipating a bad team, going through a long season that was going to put them closer to the top of the NHL Draft Lottery than the top of the NHL standings. But as we enter […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… Kris Letang’s declining performance has become a hot-button topic for Pittsburgh Penguins fans, and for good reason. Despite the workout/exercise regimen and career accomplishments, he is not the player he was five or 10 years ago. Poor decision-making and defensive struggles have made him a liability […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins haven’t even qualified for the playoffs yet, with no guarantee that they will. However, after being picked as a last place team by just about every publication everywhere, the team already has more points in 68 games this season (84 and counting) than they managed in the entire 2024-25 season (80). There’s […]
There are a lot of things to like about the Pittsburgh Penguins right now, and even with Wednesday’s overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes they just completed a mostly successful five-game road trip against some of the best teams in the NHL. You would have liked to have seen them hold on to that late […]
At the start of the season, it felt like Erik Karlsson and Anthony Mantha were probably not going to finish the season in Pittsburgh. Karlsson looked like a likely trade candidate because of his contract, and Mantha seemed destined to be flipped at the deadline as a short-term prove-it signing. With the Penguins in a playoff spot at the deadline, and now, that obviously didn't happen. Now, both players might be sticking around even longer. According to Josh Yohe of The Athletic , the Pen...
The path to the post-season lay right in front of the Laval Rocket, needing just two points in any form on Wednesday night to clinch another Calder Cup playoff berth. Standing in their way, also needing just a single point to punch their own post-season ticket, were the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Laval continued to feel the impact of injuries as both Tobie Bisson and Josiah Didier would miss the next few weeks with injuries, and Xavier Simoneau had also been ruled out for the rest of...
A game that felt like a playoff preview going in provided everything you could have wanted. Sean Walker’s overtime goal with 29 seconds left was the difference as the Carolina Hurricanes took the extra point over the Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday night in Raleigh. The game provided action from the jump with the return of Sidney […]
Pregame Sidney Crosby makes his return to the lineup from injury. Stuart Skinner plays in net. The Carolina Hurricanes are using this lineup for today’s game. First period Pretty good start for the Penguins, their fourth line gets a few chances with Noel Acciari trying to muscle a puck in from in close. No dice. […]
