The week ahead: Penguins look to keep stacking points in Western Canada

This was a weird week for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and when all was said and done they walked out of it having collected four out of a possible six points in the standings. That was a very reasonable goal at the beginning, and probably the bare minimum of what they needed to do given the […]

RECAP ! *So 2/3 of the way through the game against the Sabres Wednesday night we knew Dan Vladar was hurting, but now we know Dan Vladar is injured . Not great, Bob! [ The Athletic ] *Which me...

Flyers’ Matvei Michkov shockingly defends teammate with first NHL fight

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.
