It was not the prettiest win. It was probably not the way head coach Dan Muse would want to draw it up. But the Pittsburgh Penguins found a way to go on the road against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday and walk away with a baffling 4-3 regulation win. They let another three-goal lead […]
At 39, Evgeni Malkin is doing everything in his power to keep the Pittsburgh Penguins in the playoff conversation, racking up six goals and 26 points over 25 games played this season. But Tyler Seguin’s ACL injury in Dallas may have quietly changed the math on his future. With Seguin likely out for the rest of the season and the Stars firmly in contender mode, there is now a prime top-six opening on a team with both cap flexibility via LTIR and a clear need for another impact forward. If...

There are a lot of surprising developments about the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins, but the most surprising of them all, and perhaps the most impactful of them all, is the resurgence of starting goalie Tristan Jarry.

Ville Koivunen is one of the Pittsburgh Penguins most talented young players and will hopefully be a long-term part of their future. In his brief time in the organization he has been a dynamic scorer at the AHL level, but has not yet been able to turn that into results or production in the NHL. […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… ICYMI: Sidney Crosby continues to climb all-time leaderboards and is fewer than 10 points away from toppling one held by franchise giant Mario Lemieux. With two goals on Monday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, Crosby now sits just seven points behind Lemieux for the most regular-season […]
Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster suffered an awkward-looking injury during Monday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins and his injury timeline has been revealed. And, well, it’s not so good.
Announced by the team, after some minor reports started to leak about the length of Foerster’s potential absence just to make it official, the 23-year-old winger will be out for two to three months. It’s a rough timeline of between eight and 12 weeks, but that’s the information that w...
While the Flyers are taking an off day after their tough loss to the Penguins in their return from their road trip last night, this, as it turns out, hasn’t meant that we’re completely without news to get us through the day. This morning, it was announced that Oliver Bonk has been medically cleared at last, and he’s been activated from Injured Reserve and assigned to the Phantoms, where he’ll begin his first season of professional hockey.

Just when it seemed like things were starting to get rolling again for the Flyers, they were struck by another setback. The Flyers took a tough loss to the Penguins on home ice last night after sweeping their back-to-back on the road over the weekend, but even more distressingly, they lost Tyson Foerster to a strange looking injury in the second period — shortly after he notched his 10th goal of the season — and he was quickly ruled out to return to the game.
As of last night’s postgame, ...
The Penguins have a ton of prospects playing far and wide outside of the organization.

With two goals on Monday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, Crosby now sits just seven points behind Lemieux for the most regular season points in Penguins history and 8th most in NHL history. Crosby currently has 1,716 points, most among all […]
Sidney Crosby made a few new marks in the NHL record books Monday night with his two-goal outing in a 5-1 road win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Crosby opened scoring in the first period, then scored the game-winner on a second period power play as boos rained down from the crowd at Wells Fargo Center. […]
As it has been many times before, it was the Sidney Crosby show in Philadelphia on Monday night as the Penguins captain scored a pair of goals, including the eventual game winner, in a 5-1 rout of the Flyers to open the team’s three game road trip. Crosby potted the Penguins first two goals of […]
The Flyers lost on the scoreboard and in all facets of the game on this night, yet the loss of two points was overshadowed by the possible significant loss of winger Tyson Foerster due to an injury that didn’t look good.

Tristan Jarry is in the net. First period Jarry has to be good from the outset, which he is and turns away a […]
The Philadelphia Flyers just lost their leading goalscorer after he did something that he’s been doing all season long. It’s just so classic Flyers.
In the middle of the second period of the Flyers hosting the rival Pittsburgh Penguins, winger Tyson Foerster went for a powerful one-timer during a 5-on-3 power play. With all the weight behind him to try and earn his team the lead in a fairly important game, to try to wire the puck past Tristan Jarry and give the Flyers the advantage, somet...
