Mark Madden: Every point counts, so Penguins must solve shootout problems
Most (including me) had the Pittsburgh Penguins pegged as a non-playoff team angling for a top-five draft pick. But the Penguins have the fifth-most points in the Eastern Conference and two straight sellouts at PPG Paints Arena. That changes priorities. If the Penguins’ contention continues into 2026, the hockey media...

Move to center helped Penguins forward Danton Heinen return to NHL 
The John B. Sollenberger Trophy has been awarded since 1948 in recognition of the leading scorer of the American Hockey League. And Danton Heinen’s chances of winning it are rotten. To be fair, he has a clear handicap in that pursuit. He’s in the NHL at the moment. When the...
Penguins forward Tommy Novak reunited with Evgeni Malkin 
It wasn’t a thing of beauty. But it was effective. Forward Tommy Novak’s second goal of the season gave the Pittsburgh Penguins an opening lead Sunday in what wound up being a 3-2 home loss to the Los Angeles Kings. For what it lacked in cosmetic appeal, it offered plenty...
Former Penguins defenseman Simon Despres signs in Scotland
Former Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Simon Despres has signed with the Fife Flyers, a Scottish team based in the United Kingdom’s Elite Ice Hockey League. That team announced the transaction with a release on Tuesday. Despres, 34, was a first-round draft pick (No. 30 overall) of the Penguins in 2009. In...
Penguins lose to Kings in goaltender Sergei Murashov's debut
Penguins rookie goaltender Sergei Murashov is still getting used to his surroundings in Pittsburgh (and America, for that matter). So, if the 21-year-old Russian wasn’t completely certain that the local football squad was playing at night on Sunday, he can be forgiven. He was just grateful for the enthusiastic reception...

Former Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin is trying to win once again with the Kings
Brian Dumoulin was in a familiar place Saturday. As the Pittsburgh Penguins skated against the New Jersey Devils some six hours to the east in the Garden State, the left-handed defenseman practiced at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry. A vital component of the Penguins’ blue line during the team’s...
Shootout woes continue for Penguins, Arturs Silovs in loss to Devils
With a lineup that is perforated more than an NJ Transit ticket, the Pittsburgh Penguins were defeated by the New Jersey Devils, 2-1, in a shootout at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. on Saturday. Shootout goals by forwards Paul Cotter and Jesper Bratt were the difference. Penguins forwards Bryan...
Minor league report: Penguins' losing streak reaches 3

Penguins offer support to Filip Hallander; Kevin Hayes close to returning
The news was as sudden as it was jarring. When the Pittsburgh Penguins announced Filip Hallander would be sidelined a minimum of three months due to a blood clot in a leg, it caught several of his teammates off guard. In fact, several members of the club did not find...
Penguins goaltender Sergei Murashov is prepared — but patient — for his NHL debut
Sergei Murashov experienced a career and life moment Thursday. The Pittsburgh Penguins goaltending prospect dressed for an NHL game. OK, sure, he didn’t actually play in the game, and the most strenuous activity he was engaged in was opening and closing the bench door as teammates made line changes during...
Penguins forward Filip Hallander sidelined by blood clot
Pittsburgh Penguins rookie forward Filip Hallander will be sidelined a minimum of three months due to a blood clot in his leg. The team announced his status via social media on Friday morning.

Tim Benz: Star players help stars align in latest edition of Penguins-Capitals

Mark Madden: Sidney Crosby is sizzling, Ben Kindel brings power-play brilliance and more Penguins thoughts
The Pittsburgh Penguins are 9-4-2, top of the NHL. Sidney Crosby is the league’s leading goal-scorer at 11. The (unexpected) situation fairly begs for refreshing Penguins notes! • Crosby is also just two points off the NHL’s points lead. Even for him, he’s sizzling. If Crosby drags this rag-tag Penguins...
Power play helps Penguins steady ship, beat rival Capitals
Pittsburgh Penguins rookie forward Ben Kindel doesn’t have strong memories of how the enduring rivalry between his captain, Sidney Crosby, and Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin began. And for good reason. Kindel was born in 2007, approximately two years after Crosby and Ovechkin first encountered one another on an NHL...
Penguins look for reserve forward Joona Koppanen to fill gaps on penalty kill, faceoffs
