Penguins shut out Sabres, extend winning streak to 5 games

Penguins forward Colton Sceviour presses on after a disjointed week

Last week didn’t start ideally for Pittsburgh Penguins fourth-line forward Colton Sceviour as he still was stuck on the NHL’s list of absences related to covid-19 protocol after landing on it the previous weekend. Then he had a pretty awful case of the Mondays when he was placed on waivers....

Ron Hextall is eager to craft a new legacy with the Penguins

First, let’s get the obvious question out of the way when it comes to Ron Hextall and the Penguins. It’s the same question that has followed him for 30-plus years and likely will follow him for another 30-plus years. Why did he, as the starting goaltender of the Philadelphia Flyers,...
Mark Madden: Here’s what has to happen for the Penguins to be legit contenders

The Penguins are 16-9-1 and have won four in a row. Can they yet be more than a borderline playoff team? Can they win a playoff series? Can they be a legit Stanley Cup contender? Hey, why not? If Steelers fans can fool themselves, so can Penguins fans. But here’s...
Anthony Angello offers Penguins some rare offense from the 4th lineVideo

Penguins finally get their crack at Sabres. Now they need to pay it off.

After months of waiting, the Penguins are finally getting their shot at the Buffalo Sabres. While the rest of the Eastern Division teams have had their crack at the lowly cellar dwellers, the Pens and Boston Bruins have not. Now it’s time for the Penguins to make the most of...
