Evgeni Malkin injured, Ryan Shea nears return
There was mixed injury news out of the Penguins’ game day skate this morning. A first sign of trouble was announced early in the day with the recall of forward Ville Koivunen.

Goal prevention is becoming a big problem for the Penguins
If there was a glaring weakness for the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins it was always going to be on defense and their ability to keep pucks out of their own net. When the season began Erik Karlsson had not yet turned things around, Kris Letang was another year older, nobody knew what to expect from Parker […]

The week ahead: Another big (and tough) week for Penguins
The Pittsburgh Penguins March schedule was always going to be daunting, and they are almost through it. So far, all things considered, they have handled it mostly okay, especially given the absences of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin for a significant part of it. I said at the beginning if they could just play .500 […]
Penguins sign Zonnon, D’Aigle to entry level contracts
The Penguins took care of some business over the weekend, taking advantage of the QMJHL regular season ending to sign up two 2025 draft picks from that league. First rounder Bill Zonnon A final ruling is in flux about the CHL-NHL player transfer agreement about as far as how many teenagers will be able to […]
Pens Points: Hurricanes throttle Penguins in a stinker
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins closed out another back-to-back set on Sunday, playing against the Carolina Hurricanes for the third time in 13 days.

Investigating the ‘curious’ potential market for Ryan Shea
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 […]
Taking another look at Ben Kindel’s breakout rookie season
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 […]
Pens Points: The Letang conundrum
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 […]
Penguins’ turnaround already sought as road map
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 […]
Kris Letang is really struggling, and it is becoming a problem
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 […]
Pens Points: Road Trip Wrapped
A long five game road trip that began in Raleigh, North Carolina eight days prior and featured stops in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and Denver came to a close last night right back where is started with a familiar result that has become all too routine for the Pittsburgh Penguins this season.
