Pens Points: Entering 2026 with a win

Sidney Crosby’s stats in calendar year of 2025
A favorite new year tradition around here, let’s take a look at what Sidney Crosby did in the previous calendar year. It was another remarkable trip around the sun for Crosby on the hockey rink; what else is new, right? We can’t even be surprised at this point and yet it still ends up stunning […]
Pens Points: Ringing in the New Year
By the time puck drop rolls around later this evening, your body will be begging for you to sit down and give it a break after a full day, and perhaps even night before, spent celebrating the arrival of the new year. It’s not often the Penguins play on New Years Day, but with the […]
Penguins/Hurricanes Recap: Pens close out 2025 with surprisingly easy win over Carolina
Pregame It’s the same lineup from last game for the Penguins since Yegor Chinakhov couldn’t arrive in time to get ready, though Stuart Skinner takes over in net for the night.

Yegor Chinakhov an expensive but worthy gamble for Penguins
When you are a rebuilding team that has stockpiled more draft picks than you would ever have a reasonable need for, you have the flexibility to take some chances on talented players that have not worked out in their previous stop. If you are a contending team short on assets, you are not trading two […]
Chinakhov latest in Penguins quest for progressive upgrades
I saw someone here on Pensburgh (kudos to who it was and apologies for the faulty memory) equate Kyle Dubas’s progressive wheeling and dealing into the ‘one red paperclip’ theory and that stuck. After Dubas got forward Yegor Chinakhov in exchange for a second round pick (that Pittsburgh received as part of the bounty from […]

The Penguins are coming off a 7-3 drubbing of the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday, but the division leading Hurricanes promise to be a much stiffer test for the […]
Penguins add Yegor Chinakhov from Columbus for Danton Heinen, two picks
The Penguins have made a trade to add forward Yegor Chinakhov from Columbus for Danton Heinen and two future draft picks.

The Pittsburgh Penguins did their part to salvage the Pittsburgh sports weekend by not only beating the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night, but by also outscoring the local football team.

Fearless Penguins predictions for 2026
It’s understandable to take these predictions with a grain of salt considering the ol’ crystal ball hasn’t been operating with 100% accuracy lately. The future is always uncertain and difficult to project. The year of 2025 saw the Penguins begin another ownership change, the exit of Mike Sullivan, struggles on the ice, Sidney Crosby continue […]

Christmas Standings: How the Penguins sit after a December fall
The Penguins got to Thanksgiving holiday and the end of November with the fourth best points percentage and similar spot in the division. December didn’t go as smoothly, they leave in seventh place in points, and barely sixth in points%, thanks to a 1-5-4 slump that saw losing every which way you can go. We’ll […]
Putting Ben Kindel’s rookie season in its proper context
The 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins might not be particularly good as a team. Especially when it comes to their defense and current level of goaltending.
