Pens Points: From reality check to inflection point
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins, at least in their current form, have crashed and cratered back to Earth after a sizzling and surprising October to begin the 2025-26 season. Injuries to key players have certainly contributed to the 2-4-3 record earned throughout November, but now is the time […]
Muse, Dubas face critical point of the season
Following a wonderful October start where the Penguins shocked all by playing so well, November has ended up becoming a reality check. Pittsburgh is just 2-4-3 this calendar month, the second worst in the NHL in points and points percentage. That’s erased all the gains their 8-2-2 start provided. Coach Dan Muse can feel it, […]
Penguins/Kraken Recap: Pens battle, but fall in OT to Seattle
Pregame Pittsburgh gets Matt Dumba back into the lineup, Connor Clifton comes out to make room. Sergei Murashov is in net for the second day in a row after mopping up the back-end of last night’s blowout loss. First period Not a lot going on early, an improvement over last night. Ben Kindel almost scores […]

Penguins/Wild Recap: Pens lag behind, get blown out
Pregame The Penguins only make one change from their last lineup a million days ago, Sam Poulin replaces Philip Tomasino on the third line. First period The Penguins have a decent initial start. By that, I mean Sidney Crosby gets a shot on goal – it would be about 18 minutes until they got a […]
Gamethread: Wild @ Penguins
Talk about the game with Pens fans here!
Dan Muse is doing all of the right things so far for Penguins
When the Pittsburgh Penguins play the Minnesota Wild on Friday night it will be their 20th game of the 2025-26 season, and their 20th game under first-year head coach Dan Muse. That is not an overly large sample size of games. It is basically one quarter of one season, and the jury is still very […]
Game Preview: Minnesota Wild @ Pittsburgh Penguins 11/21/25
Who: Minnesota Wild (10-7-4, 24 points, 5th place Central Division) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (10-5-4, 24 points, 4th place Metropolitan Division) When: 7:00 p.m. eastern How to Watch: Broadcast locally Sportsnet Pittsburgh and Fanduel Sports Network North, nationally on NHL Network Pens’ Path Ahead: The uneven schedule continues, the Pens are right back in action tomorrow night at […]
Pens Points: Back to the grind
Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… Might the Pittsburgh Penguins have interest in a (somewhat disgruntled) 21-year-old left-handed defenseman who can move the puck and chip in offensively? While there is no reported connection between teams, it may be worth monitoring what the Anaheim Ducks do with young Pavel Mintyukov. [PensBurgh] Keeping […]
Penguins hosting ‘Hockey Fights Cancer’ night for tomorrow’s game vs. Minnesota
The Penguins are hosting a ‘Hockey Fights Cancer’ night tomorrow night for the team’s upcoming game against the Minnesota Wild. The event is part of a bigger, NHL-wide initiative to help raise awareness and support for anyone impacted by cancer. The first 7,500 fans in attendance at tomorrow night’s game will receive a Hockey Fights […]
Pavel Mintyukov would be an intriguing call for the Penguins
Elliotte Friedman dropped another written version of 32 thoughts. There wasn’t by way of Penguin-specific information, but this note stood out: 8. After back-to-back healthy scratches, word filtered that Ducks defenceman Pavel Mintyukov would like to be moved if he’s not going to play. He has fallen behind Jackson LaCombe and Olen Zellweger on the left side of Anaheim’s defence. Ian […]
Penguins should keep Ben Kindel at center
The Pittsburgh Penguins win over the Nashville Predators on Sunday was arguably their best game of the season. Statistically speaking, it actually was their best game of the season as it not only resulted in a 4-0 win, but also produced their highest 5-on-5 expected goal share (71.9 percent), highest scoring chance share (66.7 percent), […]
Pens Points: Preparations Continue
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 […]
Tomasino clears, practice lines and notes
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 […]

Wilkes Weekly: Reinforcements, wins arrive for WBS
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 […]
Pens Points: Another forward hits IR
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 […]
Penguins waive Philip Tomasino
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 […]
Pens at (almost) 20: Grading players at the quarter mark
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 […]
Sam Poulin gets another chance as Ville Koivunen goes on IR
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 […]
Dubas talks Crosby, Malkin reaction to Penguins rebuild
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 […]
Pens Points: Back in the ‘Burgh
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 […]
Monday Standings: Saying something mean about every team
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 week ahead: Penguins have to show fast start is still going
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 […]
