Mark Madden: Connor McDavid, Alex Ovechkin make case to be among hockey's all-time top 5
My list of hockey’s top five players ever (excluding goaltenders) is clear-cut. The top three are Mario Lemieux, Bobby Orr and Wayne Gretzky. That’s my order. But it’s impossible to argue with putting those three in any order. The next two are Sidney Crosby and Gordie Howe. Once again, that’s...

'It’s just going in right now' for Penguins forward Jake Guentzel
Jake Guentzel looked destitute. After a 4-0 home loss to the Calgary Flames on Oct. 28 — arguably, the low point of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ season thus far — Guentzel fielded questions from media and didn’t say much. But his body language spoke volumes. His arms were crossed. His posture...

Goaltender Tristan Jarry leads Penguins to road win against Jets
Considering he had played 14 of the team’s first 17 games and the first two stops of a Canadian road trip, Tristan Jarry probably wasn’t expected to play in the Penguins’ 18th game in Winnipeg on Monday. But he more or less forced the coaches to start him. After all,...

Penguins look dominant on penalty kill
Tristan Jarry was credited with the win during the Penguins’ 2-0 road victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. His 26 saves earned him that triumph. And Jake Guentzel scored the winning goal. An insurance tally by Jeff Carter helped secure the result. But in many ways, the Penguins...

Penguins forward Kasperi Kapanen still seeking consistency 
Kasperi Kapanen was supposed to be part of the answer. Not the main component, but an important supplement.

Tristan Jarry gets 2nd consecutive shutout as Penguins beat Maple Leafs
The Penguins never specifically admitted they considered bringing in a new starting goaltender this past summer. And they never specifically denied it either. “Anywhere we think we that can upgrade and we make it work (salary) cap-wise, we’ll certainly look at,” general manager Ron Hextall said on July 28, the...

Penguins rout Canadiens as Sidney Crosby gets 1st goal of season
Even though he was born and raised in Sweden, Montreal Canadiens rookie defenseman Mattias Norlinder’s favorite player as a kid captivated him from an entirely different continent. Sidney Crosby.

John Henry, billionaire behind Fenway Sports Group, turns teams he owns into champions
The billionaire behind the sports group in advanced negotiations to purchase the Pittsburgh Penguins has been described as a “shy quant” who uses “dispassionate analysis,” stripping ego and emotions out of the decision-making process to turn the teams he owns into cash cows and champions. John Henry, whose entry in...
Penguins have little to say about proposed sale
Things were status quo for the Penguins on Wednesday. At least on the ice. They engaged in a brisk-but-efficient practice at their facility in Cranberry. Their sputtering power play was a focus. And they even managed to work in the occasional shootout attempt to break up the monotony. It was...
Tim Benz: Penguins players grasp recent struggles — now it's time to follow their own advice
