Latest news and updates about the Penguins
When you start analyzing the Pittsburgh Penguins’ surprisingly strong start to the 2025-26 season, the team’s defense or defensive play is probably not high on the list of reasons for their early success. On paper, it looks like the weak link of the roster, especially when you look at the list of names on the […]

The cries for the Edmonton Oilers to make a goalie trade are only intensfying more and more, and naturally Tristan Jarry ’s name has popped up. Between ESPN’s Kevin Weekes reporting that Jarry is drawing “significant interest” from Edmonton and the Pittsburgh Penguins ’ crowded crease, the connection makes a lot of sense on paper. Jarry has rebounded from last year’s waiver drama with a strong start in Pittsburgh, posting a .914 save percentage and 2.53 goals-agai...

One clearcut sign that Tristan Jarry is playing better is that now his name is coming up in some trade rumors, both specific and vague. Let’s take a look. For starters, the Penguins are growing into a good problem. Between Jarry, Arturs Silovs, Sergei Murashov and now Joel Blomqvist, Pittsburgh has too many quality goalies […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins have quickly become one of the deepest organizations for goaltending. With struggles around the league and teams looking for goalies, this is a great time to have extra to spare. Elliotte Friedman said, "This person said to me...they've got Jarry, Silovs, Murashov, Blomqvist, so Pittsburgh has four guys. Now who knows what they would do with all of this and when." Tristan Jarry is the longest-tenured, but there have also been trade rumors surrounding him because of his ...

It’s Thanksgiving, at least among some of the lesser hockey countries. So today, I’m going to list a reason that I’m thankful for each NHL team. That’s it. No gimmicks, or clever twists. I promise I’m not even going to do the “Thanks for reminding us it could always be worse” backhanded compliment thing to anyone.

The full court press is on, and the Edmonton Oilers might be forced to make a move to address their goaltending situation.

The Edmonton Oilers need a new goaltender, and by the sounds of it, a trade could be coming in a matter of days, not weeks. After the Oilers crumbled on Tuesday night, their superstars called out just about every aspect of the team, including their goaltenders, and admittedly the team hasn't helped them at all this season. Both Stuart Skinner and Cal Pickard are pending unrestricted free agents, and considering the results so far this season, it's become quite obvious the Oilers are look...

The Pittsburgh Penguins suddenly have themselves a whack of goaltending depth. We know which backstop the Pens would ideally like to ship out of town, Tristan Jarry. But sometimes, the best laid plans don't come to fruition. According to Penguins insider, Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now , it just might be another netminder that would make the most sense to trade. He notes that with young Sergei Murashov off to an excellent start to his career thus far, GM Kyle Dubas might w...
