Over/unders for Nicholas Robertson and the Penguins’ newest players in 2026-27
It is time for another round of preseason over/under for the 2026-27 Pittsburgh Penguins. This past week we looked at Ben Kindel and the team’s youngest players (or potential young players). This week we are going to take a look at some of the newest offseason additions and what they might be capable of this […]

The Penguins Foundation has honored a high school graduate from the Pittsburgh area with this year’s Bob Johnson Memorial Scholarship. The team announced Wednesday that Sydney Wilson, who recently graduated from the Beaver Area High School, has been awarded the scholarship, which is valued at $5,000 and given annually to a Pittsburgh-area student. During her […]
Could the Penguins score 300 goals next season?
The Pittsburgh Penguins had a big season offensively last year. Their 293 goals ranked third in the NHL. They scored 201 of those goals at 5-on-5 play, second in the league – shooting 11.1% (that ranked second as well). Their power play converting 24.1% of the time, good for seventh. This scoring outburst was done […]

Carter Sanderson shines at 2026 World Junior Summer Showcase
Carter Sanderson, a sixth round pick of the Penguins in 2025, is a victim of the numbers game to not merit inclusion in our ongoing Pensburgh Top 25 Under 25 series this year. Sanderson is still 18 years old, had OK but unremarkable production in the USHL (was fifth on his team with 34 points […]
PensBurgh Top-25 Under 25: No. 24 Ryan Miller
The Top 25 Under 25 countdown continues with a rising University of Denver freshman who made himself a prospect to watch with a strong campaign in the WHL last season.

Mid-summer Penguins offseason checklist
Now a few weeks into free agency, the NHL has reached the quiet part of their calendar for the next month or so. Most the major moves are made and summer vacations and resets are in full swing as teams go slightly dormant to recharge the batteries for the upcoming season. But news and changes […]
PensBurgh Top-25 Under 25: No. 25 Chase Pietila
Getting us underway on this year’s Top 25 Under 25 countdown is rising defenseman Chase Pietila who just completed his first full professional season as a member of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the American Hockey League. Catch up on the previous entries for this year: Pensburgh Top 25 Under 25: Graduates and Departed players in […]
Who could make their NHL debuts for the Penguins in 2026-27?
Last season all four players we spotlighted as potential NHL debutees for 2025-26 ended up making their debut (gotta give some props for the Ben Kindel inclusion). Add in Jake Livanavage and Sergei Murashov and six players took rookie laps ahead of their first game last year, not counting goalie Taylor Gauthier who sat on […]
Patrick Kane’s Chicago return brings back memories of botched Jaromir Jagr/Penguins attempt in 2011
Patrick Kane is returning to Chicago, signing a two-year deal to go back to the Blackhawks. It’s a nice way for him and the team to presumably put the final chapter on his career and go full circle for a Hall of Fame run. It also made me think of how that was denied for […]
Ruckuses omitted from Team Canada WJC summer showcase
The Penguins don’t have any representatives at the upcoming Team Canada summer showcase, an event that’s an on ramp for the December World Junior team. In a sense, it’s a surprise since Pittsburgh second round pick Markus Ruck led the WHL in points (108). Twin brother and first round pick Liam was second in WHL […]
Top 25 Under 25: Best of the rest, 2026 edition
The amount of young talent in the Pittsburgh Penguins organization is filling up quickly. CapWages has 21 players on Pittsburgh’s reserve list for unsigned drafted players and the team has 22 others under contract that will be playing in the pro ranks next season. Once upon a time, finding 25 players to even rank was […]
Ranking the new jersey numbers of the Penguins
Now, for the most scientific and one of my personal favorite updates of the year, a complete and accurate ranking of the jersey numbers picked out by the new members of the Penguins. #8: 72 – Declan Carlile Carlile wore No. 67 with Tampa so he had to choose a new number in Pittsburgh with […]
Hot takes: Who is going to be last in the East?
A friend of mine offered an interesting question, mostly just to chat about for a little and move on but it’s been sticking in my mind for a while now. The question was who will be in last place in the Eastern Conference next season? It’s been an interesting point to ponder on in the […]
Jason Robertson signs with Dallas, appears to end saga
Yesterday there was some movement around the situation with Dallas and Jason Robertson. The Stars announced they signed the star forward to a one-year contract worth $12.0 million to avoid arbitration. If nothing else, Dallas has managed to kick the can down the road to 2027 to see if they want to trade or re-sign […]
Have the Penguins dropped a hint about new alternate jerseys?
As we wade into the dog days of summer, the heat can sometimes get to us and make us go crazy. Sometimes we see things that aren’t there. Sometimes we get a little antsy when we don’t have a constant flow of information from our favorite hockey team. I am not one to wear a […]
Pensburgh Top 25 Under 25: Graduates and Departed players in 2026
Every summer we take a look at the top young players within the Pittsburgh Penguins organization in our Top 25 Under 25 feature. The list is meant to be less predictive of the future and more of a snapshot in time for how players stack up in terms of their value today when attempting to […]
Penguins tied to trade interest in Seattle Kraken center
The Pittsburgh Penguins are being tied in potential trade interest to a young center this offseason. The Athletic’s Josh Yohe reported Monday “two different sources in the Penguins’ organization” told him Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas is “intrigued” by Shane Wright. Yohe noted, however, “the asking price for Wright is, to put it lightly, substantial, […]
Anatomy of a turnaround: Where the Penguins did better in 2025-26 than in 2024-25
The Penguins finished the 2024-25 season with just 80 points in the standings, good for only seventh place in their division and 13th in the Eastern Conference. Fast forward a year, and Pittsburgh was up to 98 points, a second place finish in their division that ranked seventh in the conference. Where did that turnaround […]
Podcast: Recapping summer so far
As we pass the midway point of July, the hockey doldrums of summer have descended upon us as they do every year about this time. Almost three weeks have passed since free agency opened on July 1st, with most of the top available names on the market already inking new deals for next season. For […]
Kyle Dubas draft profile revealed
An interesting card about Kyle Dubas’ draft tendency dropped on social media. The graphic condenses a lot of the information and analysis we’ve done earlier on the subject. One interesting area was just how much 2026 fed into past tendencies. Four of the six selections made were from the CHL – though the importance of […]
Penguins ticket prices reportedly trending down
Attendance across the NHL was up last season to record levels across the board. A rebound year on the ice meant improvements in Pittsburgh to fill the arena to 94% capacity in 2025-26, up from 91.5% in 2024-25. That 94% figure still ranks near the bottom of the league, with only six teams in the […]
