Penguins Rally, Bag Predators in OT, 3-2

The Penguins overcame a stingy performance in net by Juuse Saros to capture a richly deserved and hard-earned 3-2 overtime victory over the Predators last night at PPG Paints Arena. Yes, you read that right. Richly deserved. Sans top guns Evgeni Malkin and Egor Chinakhov, not to mention Bryan Rust and Ben Kindel, the Pens employed a wolf pack mentality to take down their prey. Indeed, they pretty much dominated the Preds from start to finish. I usually save the shot-based stats (courtesy of Natu

Penguins Recall Hayes, Girard to IR

In the wake of Egor Chinakhov’s lingering lower-body injury and a sudden illness that’s afflicted Evgeni Malkin, the Penguins have summoned forward Avery Hayes from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. In addition, defenseman Sam Girard, out since suffering an undisclosed injury against Vegas on January 17, has been placed on IR. While I can’t say I’m happy about the circumstances, I’m very pleased Hayes is joining the team and, by all indications, will be making his season debut tonight against the Predators

Penguins Stun Panthers, 4-0

After pulling a vanishing act for the better part of two weeks that would’ve done famed illusionist David Copperfield proud, the Penguins reversed their course last night at PPG Paints Arena against Florida. Dramatically so. The result? A remarkably crisp, buttoned down, 4-0 whitewashing of the Panthers. Frankly, I was stunned by how well the Pens played. They were fast. Opportunistic. For the most part, defensive assignments were executed with aplomb. Best of all, we seemed to rediscover the co

Penguins Update: Kindel and Rust to IR, McGroarty and Pietila Recalled

The Penguins have placed forwards Ben Kindel and Bryan Rust on IR. In a pair of corresponding moves, they’ve recalled forward Rutger McGroarty and defenseman Chase Pietila from the Baby Pens. At a press conference this morning, Pens POHO/GM Kyle Dubas explained that Kindel had suffered a vasovagal episode on the team plane on Tuesday. In layman’s terms, a vasovagel episode occurs when heart rate and blood pressure drop suddenly, leading to reduced blood flow to the brain and causing a brief loss

Penguins Update: What’s Bruin?

I have a confession to make. I have some serious “other team envy” going on, and not just a little. Glancing at the standings, I see the Boston Bruins are perched atop the very tough Atlantic Division with a record of 7-2-1. Practically the opposite of the 3-6-1 mark posted by our Penguins after 10 games. The two black-and-gold squads are opposites in other ways as well. While the Pens sank like a stone en route to four-straight losses on their recent road trip, the Bruins went 3-0-1 on a recent

Penguins Kindel Hospitalized in Stable Condition

Penguins forward Ben Kindel is in stable condition at the University of Utah Hospital after suffering a “medical episode” on the team’s return flight to Pittsburgh. The jet immediately returned to Salt Lake City International Airport. This from the team: “The Pittsburgh Penguins team plane returned to Salt Lake City International Airport shortly after takeoff due to a medical episode involving forward Ben Kindel. Team physician, Dr. Darmesh Vyas, of UPMC, as well as the team’s medical staff were

Late Rally Falls Short, Penguins Lose Again

There were some hopeful signs for our Penguins during last night’s 5-4 loss to the Mammoth in Salt Lake City. Our fourth loss in a row for those keeping track. The slumbering power-play went 2-for-2. That makes three goals with the man-advantage over the past two games on the heels of a ghastly 0-for-19 slump. Egor Chinakhov, of whom much is expected, returned to the lineup following a two-game absence and scored his first goal since the season-opener. Snake-bitten Rickard Rakell broke through w

Penguins Shuffle Defensemen

With Sam Girard’s availability up in the air, the Penguins swapped out defensemen ahead of tonight’s game with Utah. Recent acquisition Ryan Johnson was sent to the Baby Pens and Ilya Solovyov was recalled. The burly 6’3” 229-pound Solovyov tallied an assist during his three games in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to go with a plus-6. Speaking of the Baby Pens, several players are off to hot starts, including forwards Avery Hayes (5 goals, 9 points), Rutger McGroarty (4 goals, 9 points), Atley Calvert (3

Golden Knights Vanquish Penguins, 6-2

The Penguins were no match for the Golden Knights last night, dropping a lopsided 6-2 decision at T-Mobile Arena. I confess, life kept me otherwise engaged, so I wasn’t able to watch the game. From what I can glean from the box score, I’m kind of glad I didn’t witness the carnage. Like the proverbial knight on a white charger, our hosts scored on their first shot of the game and galloped to a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes on goals by Rasmus Andersson, Noah Hanifin and Mark Stone. Sidney Crosby struc

Avs Spot Penguins the Lead, Then Blow ‘Em Away for Easy 5-2 Win

For one brief, shining moment, the Penguins resembled the team we’d all hoped they’d be last night. Taking full advantage of a sluggish Avalanche squad that was playing its third game in four nights, the Pens popped two goals past Mackenzie Blackwood during a glorious 19-second span of the first period. Better still, it was the big boys who did the honors. At 8:28, Evgeni Malkin took a short pass from Ville Koivunen, knifed through the slot with a ballistic move that would’ve done Jaromir Jagr p

What’s Ailing Our Penguins (and Can it Be Fixed)?

Obviously, our Penguins aren’t off to the kind of start we’d all hoped for. Since blitzing the hated Flyers, 7-0, in the season opener and racing to a 5-1 lead against the Canadiens in game No. 2, we’ve been outscored by a whopping 20-12 margin in non-shootouts goals while stumbling to a 3-3-1 record. Our regulation points percentage? An abysmal .357. A mark that I think accurately reflects our level of play. Small wonder that we’re on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture lookin

How Low Can They Go? Penguins Bow to Blackhawks, 5-3

Perhaps it’s a little too early to label a game “must-win.” Especially since most of our competition are struggling with consistency issues as well. However, with a troika of very challenging games dead ahead in Colorado, Vegas and Utah, the Penguins really needed to take advantage of last night’s match-up with the lowly Blackhawks. The fact that we didn’t, or couldn’t, doesn’t speak well of our chances for a successful season. Indeed, in many ways the 5-3 loss harkened back to a similar defeat

Penguins Make a Minor Swap

The Penguins swung a minor trade today with Buffalo. In exchange for defensemen Caleb Jones and Daniel Laatsch, we acquired blueliner Ryan Johnson. A 31st overall pick of the Sabres in 2019, the 25-year-old Johnson is a left shot who goes 6’1” 195 pounds. He played in 41 games with the Sabres as a rookie pro in 2023-24 and tallied seven assists to go with a plus-3. He registered some decent 5v5 metrics, including a 52.5 Corsi, 56.41 Goals for Percentage and 51.52 Expected Goals for Percentage. S

Penguins Halt Skid, Nip Stars in Shootout, 2-1

The Penguins snapped their three-game winless streak last night with a 2-1 shootout victory over Dallas at PPG Paints Arena. Unlike the previous three contests, our guys tightened things up quite a bit and generally gave a good account of themselves in what proved to be a low-event affair in terms of offense. Connor Dewar broke a scoreless tie at 1:57 of the third period with a nice individual effort. After lugging the puck through the neutral zone, the plucky Pens forward sliced across the high

Penguins Lucky to “Earn” a Point in 3-2 Shootout Loss to CBJ

Back in the early 1970s, then-Penguins owner Tad Potter wryly noted that his team must’ve thought there was an energy crisis because they were only giving 85 percent. While I don’t know if the same can be said of the current batch of flightless waterfowl, what energy our guys do expend is largely misspent on own-zone scrambles, neutral-zone follies and one-and-dones during the all-too-rare occurrences when we actually breach the offensive zone. I’m not going to sugarcoat. Last night the Pens ser
