Pittsburgh Penguins blog for the five time, five time, five time, FIVE TIME Stanley Cup Champions
Wednesday was another practice day for the Pittsburgh Penguins at UPMC Lemieux as they continue to ramp up for a return to game action this Friday against the Minnesota Wild at PPG Paints Arena. By now the jet lag from the flight home from Sweden should have worn off and hopefully the Penguins can be […]
Philip Tomasino will be staying with the Penguins for a while longer after clearing waivers today. The Pens have the option to re-assign him to the AHL but haven’t not announced that immediately. With Tomasino on the outs for at least the playing lineup, here’s how the lines were looking for the team’s first full […]

The WBS Penguins found their winning ways again last week, taking three games in a row over Bridgeport (twice) and then Springfield. The good news for them is even though many of their best players have been recalled to Pittsburgh, goalie Joel Blomqvist and forward Rutger McGroarty made their season debuts in the AHL. Nick […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… Rookie forward Ville Koivunen has been deemed ’week-to-week’ and subsequently placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. Getting the call in his place will be 2019 first-round pick Sam Poulin. [PensBurgh] The loss of Koivunen and the recall of Poulin come as the team also […]
The Penguins waived forward Philip Tomasino today. The timing of the move is curious, the Pens only have 12 healthy forwards without Tomasino, after putting Ville Koivunen on IR and calling up Sam Poulin from the AHL. The end result is not that surprising, Tomasino has been a frequent healthy scratch and only averaged 12:10 […]
Now that we’re embedded in the post-Europe trip lull this week, there’s some time to kill. The Pittsburgh Penguins have completed 19 games of the season, a virtual quarter of the 2025-26 campaign. It would have been nicer for 20 games and a round number, but we’ll work with the cards dealt to give grades […]
Another day, another forward injury for the Pittsburgh Penguins. This time it is rookie forward Ville Koivunen going on IR with a lower-body injury that will keep him out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis. Getting the call in his place will be 2019 first-round pick Sam Poulin. Now that he is 24 years […]
Kyle Dubas gave some insight into the frustration Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang may have been feeling during the team’s ongoing playoff drought while speaking with Nashville Predators general manager Barry Trotz ahead of last weeks’ 2025 Global Series in Stockholm. In a video shared Saturday by the NHL, Dubas spoke with Trotz […]
In terms of miles, the Pittsburgh Penguins just completed their longest road trip of the season, hopping over the Atlantic to Stockholm, Sweden for a two game set with the Nashville Predators. With three points in the bank, the Penguins are now in recovery mode to shake off the jet lag from a long flight […]
Due to the schedule and now off time for the Penguins, we’re bumping back the normal Sunday Standings a day to fit in better. Today’s theme is in the mold of the old late night talk show trope about mean tweets. We’re not tweeting these but just imagine like a coach or captain of these […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins got three out of a possible four points during the Sweden trip against the Nashville Predators this past week and it was very much a mixed bag of process and results. They played one bad game, one very good game, lost another overtime game and then watched as their prized goalie prospect […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins blew a late 1-0 lead en route to a 2-1 overtime loss in Game One of the 2025 Global Series, but Pittsburgh rebounded on Sunday. Even with a patchwork lineup, the team is still led by Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby, who helped […]
Pregame A bunch of changes for Pittsburgh from last game; Sergei Murashov is in net. Ville Koivunen is hurt, so the team opts to bump Ben Kindel back to the third line, shuffling Connor Dewar up with the first line and Kevin Hayes looks to do a Justin Brazeau impression on the second line. First […]

There’s an unfortunate pattern developing for the Penguins during this 1-4-1 stretch to start November. There was that 3-0 third-period lead against the Toronto Maple Leafs, followed by four unanswered goals and a regulation loss last Monday. Last Thursday, there was that 3-0 second-period lead against the Washington Capitals. That was gone by the end […]

Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… Is the rapid ascent of 11th overall pick Ben Kindel the Pittsburgh Penguins’ greatest surprise to begin the 2025-26 season? [PensBurgh] Defenseman Ryan Graves’ Penguins tenure has been a rocky road thus far. Beginning the 2025-26 season in the American Hockey League after the Penguins waived […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have had many a pleasant surprise over their first 17 games. They’ve gotten a lot of life out of mid-level free agent signings like Justin Brazeau, Anthony Mantha and Parker Wotherspoon. Arturs Silovs has looked the part of an NHL goalie. Tristan Jarry and even Ryan Graves have started upon redemption journeys, […]
It was a day of adventure for the Pittsburgh Penguins who had the day off from hockey activities and were able to explore their temporary host city of Stockholm, Sweden and take in some local culture. While this is primarily a business trip for the Penguins, it’s good for the players to take some down […]
Some little bits and pieces around the Penguins as they take in Sweden this week. Erik Karlsson sets the stage on what to expect during the games. Those opponents were out having a good time for themselves. It’s an interesting nugget that Europe will mark the third different continent where Penguins vs. Predators games have […]
