Fowler’s brilliant performance drew a standing ovation from the fans after the game, but l...

The Pittsburgh Penguins might be in the race for a playoff spot and haven't given up yet, but the mentality since Kyle Dubas took over as general manager has been to get younger and build for the future. The core of veterans haven't been moved yet, even though it was looking like it would be the case with Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, Erik Karlsson, and Rickard Rakell. The Penguins did bring in Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak while moving out Tristan Jarry and Samuel Poulin, but those pieces can b...

The Penguins are right in the mix still as they are two points back with one game in hand of a playoff spot. They have been dealing with some injuries throughout the season, so if they get healthy all at once, they could be a force like they were at the ...
