Penguins struggle despite line changes as losing streak continues
Tossing lines and pairings in a blender wasn’t enough for Dan Muse to stop Pittsburgh Penguins from conceding a fourth straight loss in Monday night game against the Utah Mammoth.

Sunday Standings: Penguins need to ‘dig in’ to get out of slump
It’s been a tough road trip for the Penguins, three games have resulted in three losses.

It’s on us together,” coach Dan Muse said after last night’s 6-2 loss to Vegas. “We […]
Penguins/Golden Knights Recap: Pens trampled, lose in Vegas 6-2

Let’s see what Nicholas Robertson can do
Sometimes it can be really, really baffling to try and figure out what NHL teams see in certain players, and what they don’t see in others. Let’s take Pittsburgh Penguins Nicholas Robertson, for example. He’s 25 years old, played over 240 games in the NHL, and always posted strong numbers whenever he’s been on the […]

Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… The Penguins’ top line of Sidney Crosby, Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell has struggled to produce offense and has been a defensive liability early in the season.

When will the Penguins top line start making an impact?

The highs and lows of young goalies (and other quick Penguins thoughts)
I am not going to say the Pittsburgh Penguins played a perfectly clean, crisp game on Tuesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. Because they didn’t.
