It’s argumentative that the Penguins lack depth in forwards.  After all, we have had Deryk Engelland playing as a forward for a few games now.  However, Penguins’ fans have had a privilege of seeing a new up-and-comer in a young stud by the name of Jayson Megna. For those who have followed the Penguins and know their farm system talent, this name is not new, as he has been with the franchise for over a year now. For some though, it may have been lost within the shuffles. Megna has been a part ... Read More

With an injury-filled line up and a three game losing streak, the Pittsburgh Penguins needed a spark to prevail over the Carolina Hurricanes, Monday night. Enter Jayson Megna. Playing in his second game for the Penguins since being recalled on October 24th, Megna scored his first career goal and added an assist in a 3-1 victory at PNC Arena.  Tanner Glass also scored his second goal of the year and Chris Kunitz finished off a beautiful pass from Sidney Crosby. Marc-Andre Fleury was ... Read More

Kris Letang ended a long and frustrating power play drought for the Pittsburgh Penguins less than seven minutes into the first period, but that was the last positive Dan Bylsma's club would take away from Toronto on Saturday evening. A 1-0 lead was erased when the Maple Leafs (8-4-0) tied the game on a short-handed goal ten minutes later and, after a scoreless second, the home team netted three unanswered goals to secure a 4-1 victory over the Penguins (7-4-0).  Toronto now leads the Eastern ...

So yesterday morning, as I was reading the usual sporting news, I came across an article that read, "Thornton Line among the best." Joe Thornton is the captain of the San Jose Sharks and his line-mates of Brent Burns and Thomas Hertl are currently the second best line in the league through nine games in regards to points. The best line in the NHL is the line of Sidney Crosby, Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis. The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to raise the bar in the NHL. Remember Week 1 of the ... Read More

After erasing a 1-0 deficit in the first period and taking a lead in a mostly uneventful second period, the Pittsburgh Penguins (7-3-0) ended up on the wrong side of a wild finish at Consol Energy Center Friday night. With a Metropolitan Division opponent, the New York Islanders (4-3-3), in town following three days off, the Penguins had an opportunity to pick up an important two points and get back on the right track after Monday's loss to Colorado.  Matt Moulson netted the game's first goal ...

The Penguins did everything right to win against the hottest team in the Western Conference except score a goal. Jean-Sebastien Giguere made sure of that. The Colorado Avalanche stymied the Pittsburgh Penguins despite being out shot 34-14, in a 1-0 win Monday night at Consol Energy Center. Marc-Andre Fleury was also impressive, stopping the Avalanche on 13 of 14 shots.  The Avs didn't produce a lot of offense, but when they did, they had excellent scoring chances.  Fleury robbed Milan ...

Rivalry - a competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field. Without rivalries in sports, they are nothing but games. Rivalries are what fans live for. For the past 10 years, you've had the Tom Brady and Peyton Manning national rivalry. In the NBA, you have the old school Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers, or the new school Kobe vs. LeBron. It's what we all look forward to. In Pittsburgh, we are lucky enough to have had two of the better rivalries over the past ... Read More

"I always liked [the shootout], but I didn't score [in previous attempts]," Malkin said. ... Read More

The NHL has a vast list of players in today's game with freakish talent from Evgeni Malkin, Alex Ovechkin, Sydney Crosby and down the line. So when a player is tagged or being called "best player in the world," it's quite a bold statement for that player to either live up to those expectations. During the 2012 NHL playoffs, former Flyers coach Peter Laviolette tagged the emerging Claude Giroux as "best in the world" immediately after the Flyers eliminated their cross-state rival Penguins in ...

The Philadelphia Flyers hoped playing against their in-state rivals would produce a win and possible turnaround to a rocky start to the 2013-2014 season. The Penguins made sure that wouldn't happen. Jussi Jokinen, Chris Kunitz, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin each added a goal, and Marc-Andre Fleury held the Flyers to one goal on 25 shots as the Penguins won 4-1, Thursday night in Philadelphia. Goaltender Steve Mason was able to weather the storm through the first half of the game, but ... Read More
