Latest news and updates about the Penguins
When we looked ahead to this past week on Monday, I said it would have been a good week if the Penguins could collect at least five or six points in the four games that were ahead. After all, things were looking good. The Penguins had just completed a wildly successful three-game road trip through […]

The Penguins dropped another stunner at this point when Utah completed a three-goal comeback on them just one day after San Jose managed to comeback from four goals down. It can’t be all that surprising considering that blowing seemingly insurmountable leads is what they regularly do these days. It is the little things, but the […]

If some accounts around the league are correct, it feels like Stuart Skinner's stay in Pittsburgh could be a short one. Skinner was acquired by the Penguins along with defenseman Brett Kulak from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Tristan Jarry. But that still leaves the Pens with four viable goaltenders in the system. Skinner, with an expiring $2.6 million cap hit, could be used by the Penguins to acquire another young asset. Insider Frank Seravalli explains , on the Panthers Insider p...

December can be a boring month in the NHL. Opening night optimism is a faded memory, the deadline is still months away, the playoff picture is jumbled, and not much is happening. And then, every once in a while, we get a day like Friday. We got one of the biggest midseason blockbusters in years, with the Quinn Hughes trade to Minnesota . We got the long-awaited Oilers goalie trade, with Tristan Jarry coming over from the Penguins . Oh, and before those two deals dropped, we also found out that...

Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins played two of the worst games I have ever watched this team play on Saturday and Sunday.

The Habs went 2-1-1 during the second week of December, and sit third in the Atlantic Division with a record of 17-11-4. It started with another full-on embarrassment at home, a 6-1 beatdown courtesy of the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. The Habs then took to the road, with Jacob Fowler getting his first NHL regular-season start against the Pittsburgh Penguins after the Habs hit the organizational panic button – calling up Fowler, Adam Engström and Owen Beck. All three played in the...

The San Jose Sharks did something today that no other Sharks team has ever done. Down 5-1 in the third period, the team overcame a four-goal deficit to not just tie the game, but win it, something that no other Sharks team in the history of the franchise has done. Of course, that’s in part because the stacked teams of the past never would have gotten themselves into such a predicament in the first place, but we take our wins where we can get them. The Sharks beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-5 in...

Pregame Rickard Rakell is back, which provides a big boost to the forward lines. The Pens shake Tommy Novak, Anthony and Kevin Hayes all down a little bit, give Ben Kindel, Rutger McGroarty and the returning Rakell bigger roles than the past. Pretty good there. The newly acquired players from Edmonton are hung up with […]

The Edmonton Oilers finally made a goalie change by bringing in Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins and trading Stuart Skinner. But this was the better of the two goalies who have served in the Oilers' net over the past three seasons. That means now that the band-aid has been torn off with Skinner, the worst of the goalies, Calvin Pickard, is next to go and something will happen, possibly sooner than later. Elliotte Friedman said, "The Oilers poked around Alex Lyon...It wasn't as seriou...

This isn’t the first time the Edmonton Oilers have given up on a 27-year-old goaltender. On Friday morning, the Oilers sent Stuart Skinner (along with Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick) to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin.

The Penguins have had a Tristan Jarry problem for a while now. The 30-year old is on the books through the 2027-28 season at a $5.375 million cap hit. Pittsburgh doesn’t have salary cap issues for the future, but Jarry’s involvement with the team has been through the ringer ever since he was waived and […]

The Edmonton Oilers had a very busy morning by making two trades to finally address goaltending. Regardless of how many seem to be feeling and overreacting to the Oilers acquiring Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins , they have also struck a deal with the Nashville Predators to acquire Spencer Stastney, a young defenseman. The Oilers traded Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round pick to the Penguins for Jarry and Samuel Poulin, so they brought in a starter with a .909 career SV% a...
