Pittsburgh Penguins blog for the five time, five time, five time, FIVE TIME Stanley Cup Champions
Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins have fared surprisingly well in the absence of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. One of the main forces behind this recent run of form is coming from defenseman Erik Karlsson, who has been playing his best hockey to date in a Pittsburgh sweater. […]
The Penguins will have their depth tested, celebrated fourth line center Blake Lizotte will be out of the lineup for a while, reportedly to be re-evaluated in four weeks due to an undisclosed upper body injury. Should Lizotte stick to that timeline, he would miss the rest of the regular season that ends on April […]
Evgeni Malkin returned from his five-game suspension Monday night with a stellar game against the Colorado Avalanche and after the game, the veteran Penguins center said he and Penguins president of hockey operations and general manager Kyle Dubas are expected to talk this summer about his contract situation. Earlier this month, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said […]
When the Pittsburgh Penguins traded for defenseman Erik Karlsson prior to the start of the 2023-24 season, it seemed like a slam-dunk move.

Evgeni Malkin returned to the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup for the first time since being suspended five games for slashing earlier this month and he made his presence known early and often in a 7-2 Penguins victory over the NHL leading Colorado Avalanche. Malkin was hardly the only Penguins player to show out in a big […]

When Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin received his five-game suspension for slashing Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin a week-and-a-half ago, the timing of it could not have possibly been worse. The Penguins were already playing without their captain and best player, Sidney Crosby, were in the middle of a tough and increasingly close playoff race, […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… It appears the Pittsburgh Penguins reassigned defenseman Alex Alexeyev back to the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Sunday.

If we are being honest with ourselves, and if the Pittsburgh Penguins are being honest with themselves, forward Anthony Mantha was never supposed to be on the team at this point in the 2025-26 season. The plan with him was pretty obvious from the start. At least it seemed to be obvious. That is what […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins lost 6-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have managed a 3-2-3 record since the Olympic break without Sidney Crosby. That might not sound like much, but in the NHL’s point system that level of play (.563%) will keep them afloat for now until their captain returns.
