Latest news and updates about the Penguins
Pregame It’s the same lineup from last game for the Penguins since Yegor Chinakhov couldn’t arrive in time to get ready, though Stuart Skinner takes over in net for the night. The banged up Hurricanes bring in a lineup without one of their top forwards (Seth Jarvis), a top defender (Jaccob Slavin) and goalie (Pyotr […]

So, the Blackhawks came out of the Christmas break with a thrilling win in Dallas and a dull thud at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins. That’s kinda the way things have gone this season, isn’t it? The good news for tonight is Nick Foligno is healthy and in the lineup and Ilya Mikheyev also returns from his absence to be with his family. We’re getting closer to a full Blackhawks lineup. The Blackhawks held only an optional morning skate today, so these are the new lines we saw at practi...

I saw someone here on Pensburgh (kudos to who it was and apologies for the faulty memory) equate Kyle Dubas’s progressive wheeling and dealing into the ‘one red paperclip’ theory and that stuck. After Dubas got forward Yegor Chinakhov in exchange for a second round pick (that Pittsburgh received as part of the bounty from […]

It’s understandable to take these predictions with a grain of salt considering the ol’ crystal ball hasn’t been operating with 100% accuracy lately. The future is always uncertain and difficult to project. The year of 2025 saw the Penguins begin another ownership change, the exit of Mike Sullivan, struggles on the ice, Sidney Crosby continue […]

Without a morning skate, we’ll have to wait and see what the lineup looks like during warmups. I’m goin...

Fresh off the snapping of a six-game losing streak, the Hawks are back home on Sunday night to host the Pittsburgh Penguins. Somehow, in the year 2025, a preview involving this Pittsburgh franchises still requires writing the names Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, as all three remain key contributors for the team despite Crosby and Letang being 38 and Malkin being 39. Perhaps that reliance on older players — don’t forget about 35-year-old Erik Karlsson, either — also explains...
