The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins’ games this weekend have been postponed for what the team has deemed “covid-19 protocols.” No specifics were offered.

Penguins wouldn't mind a return of 2-game 'series' in regular season
Brian Boyle had a funny way of describing the Penguins’ flight to Calgary on Sunday to kick off the team’s four-game swing through Western North America this week. “It’s nice to get together, hop on the ‘bird’ and check in and go for dinners if you can,” the veteran Penguins...
Connor McDavid's 4-point night leads Oilers past Penguins
With a meeting of Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid providing combined star power worthy of Galileo’s gaze, Wednesday’s matchup of the Penguins and Edmonton Oilers was broadcast to a national audience on TNT. Or, at least as large of a national audience that a contest beginning at 10:17 p.m. on...

Tristan Jarry has done plenty to help Penguins this season. His skaters need to help him against the Oilers
Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry has been excellent lately. In his last seven starts, Jarry has allowed two goals only once and one goal three times and has posted three shutouts. Five of those starts have resulted in victories. But the team would be best served to lean on him...
Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin rejoins teammates on ice
Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin participated in his team’s morning skate at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta on Monday.

Mark Madden: Every game counts for the Penguins, even in November
The Pittsburgh Penguins recently won five straight. But they sandwiched those victories with home losses to the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens, two of the NHL’s worst teams. In the middle of last decade, that wouldn’t matter. The Penguins were a lock to make the playoffs. November was just a...
Mario Lemieux to oversee hockey operations as Fenway Sports Group deal with Penguins almost done
For Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang, Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle are much more than the people who have owned his employer. They’re “Mario and Ron.” He has a personal relationship with each of them. And he’s happy for them. That’s because they’re still going to be involved with the...

Penguins fall to Flames in shootout despite goaltender Tristan Jarry's strong play

Grading the Penguins after a quarter of the season
Penguins coach Mike Sullivan has a phrase he’s fond of when discussing the composition of his team. “It’s hard to win (the) Stanley Cup with just 12 forwards and six defensemen and two goalies. It takes a whole lot more than that.” So far this season through 21 games, in...

Penguins lose to lowly Canadiens; Sidney Crosby gets first multi-point game of the season
There are plenty of reasons Sidney Crosby one day will be enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame. The start of his 2021-22 season will not be one of them. Because of a combination of offseason wrist surgery that sidelined him to open the season and a bout with covid-19...

Tristan Jarry stellar again as Penguins shut out Islanders
The Pittsburgh Penguins won’t miss Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. To be fair, they’re not alone. Anyone with aversions to asbestos, lead-based paint and rodents probably won’t mourn the New York Islanders’ former home. In addition to those … features … the Penguins just weren’t all that successful in that venue....
Does Penguins' Tristan Jarry have case to make Canada's Olympic team?
Sidney Crosby isn’t the general manager for Canada’s Olympic men’s hockey team. He’s merely the captain. But his endorsement can sway the decisions of those who assemble the roster. The gold medal his former linemate, Chris Kunitz, owns from the 2014 Olympics in Sochi is evidence of that. So while...
