But a goal by Brooks Orpik late in the second period gave Pittsburgh hope, and the Penguins climbed out of a 2-0, then 3-1, deficit with three goals in a span of 2:13 during the third period to defeat the Blue Jackets 4-3 on ...

Superstars need to shine, but Malkin is the ‘X’ factor
Barring any setbacks in his recovery, Evgeni Malkin will rejoin the Penguins lineup for Game One against the Columbus Blue Jackets after missing the last 11 games of the season with a foot injury. But just filling a roster spot will not be enough for this Russian superstar. Geno will need to play at a caliber we haven’t seen since he won the Art Ross and Conn Smythe trophies in 2009; a season that saw him score 113 points in the regular season and 36 during the playoffs. This is most ... Read More
Steelers sign punter Podlesh
The Pittsburgh Steelers have gone through several different punters since the injury-riddled Daniel Sepulveda hung up his cleats in 2011. The team is hoping they may have shored up the position for 2014 with the Tuesday signing of free agent P Adam Podlesh.
