The Detroit Red Wings were in the market for help at the trade deadline, but there was one line they did not want to cross. According to Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff , Detroit was not willing to move any of its top prospects in deadline talks, even while looking for a major upgrade down the middle. The Red Wings and Steve Yzerman wanted to improve, but not at the cost of names like Nate Danielson, or either of their two blue-chip goalie prospects in Sebastian Cossa or Trey Aug...

The Pittsburgh Penguins March schedule was always going to be daunting, and they are almost through it. So far, all things considered, they have handled it mostly okay, especially given the absences of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin for a significant part of it. I said at the beginning if they could just play .500 […]

Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins closed out another back-to-back set on Sunday, playing against the Carolina Hurricanes for the third time in 13 days.

The Carolina Hurricanes scored three power play goals and dominated the Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-1 on Sunday afternoon in the Steel City.

At the time of writing, the Pittsburgh Penguins have won their game versus the Winnipeg Jets in a shootout, while the Columbus Blue Jackets’ unstoppable march up the order has them out to a 3-1 lead over the Seattle Kraken through one period of play. Those are big res...
Recap of the game.
Pregame The Penguins get Sam Girard from injury and are about as healthy as they’re going to get this season with the only unavailable player of note being Blake Lizotte. First period The Penguins score on the second shift of the game on a sensational effort by Egor Chinakhov. Chinakhov takes a pass that Evgeni […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Egor Chinakhov in a trade this past December. The move was a fulfillment of a request Chinakhov made to Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell beforehand. Since Dec. 29th, Chinakhov has played 30 games for the Penguins, and scored 22 points (11-11) as a top-six forward playing alongside fellow Russian forward, Evgenii Malkin, and center Tommy Novak. A stark contrast to his time in Columbus, where he was arguably underutilized, scra...

Ryan Shea is such an unassuming player on the ice that in a way it’s sadly fitting that his breakout season has been overshadowed by multiple teammates taking up more of the spotlight. The Penguins have gotten plenty of positive surprises this season, starting with 18-year old Ben Kindel’s steady amazing play. Add in a […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have certainly changed the expectations for themselves this season. When the 2025-26 season began, most people were anticipating a bad team, going through a long season that was going to put them closer to the top of the NHL Draft Lottery than the top of the NHL standings. But as we enter […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… Kris Letang’s declining performance has become a hot-button topic for Pittsburgh Penguins fans, and for good reason. Despite the workout/exercise regimen and career accomplishments, he is not the player he was five or 10 years ago. Poor decision-making and defensive struggles have made him a liability […]

There’s […]
There are a lot of things to like about the Pittsburgh Penguins right now, and even with Wednesday’s overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes they just completed a mostly successful five-game road trip against some of the best teams in the NHL. You would have liked to have seen them hold on to that late […]
At the start of the season, it felt like Erik Karlsson and Anthony Mantha were probably not going to finish the season in Pittsburgh. Karlsson looked like a likely trade candidate because of his contract, and Mantha seemed destined to be flipped at the deadline as a short-term prove-it signing. With the Penguins in a playoff spot at the deadline, and now, that obviously didn't happen. Now, both players might be sticking around even longer. According to Josh Yohe of The Athletic , the Pen...
