"There's that hunger and desire throughout the locker room." Many players in the #LetsGoPens room this season are in "prove-it" situations individually - and that mindset has contributed to collective success. Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

#LetsGoPens Ben Kindel's importance to the lineup and emergence as a center already keyed in on the details of the game - with more production surely on the way - could change things for the Penguins. Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens have climbed the standings, going 10-2-2 since the holiday break and rising to second in the Metro. While a lot is going right for them, a big reason why has been their improvement defensively. Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

#LetsGoPens newly acquired winger Egor Chinakhov could be the real deal - and he's shown potential as a legitimate scoring winger with his lethal shot. Some staggering numbers behind his release and other promising attributes ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Well, Pittsburgh, you may just have a pretty good hockey team on your hands. Because these #LetsGoPens are playing some legitimately impressive hockey right now. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Folks, we need to talk about the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Dallas Stars would be best-served to not let a superstar get away. But if Jason Robertson does become available, do the #LetsGoPens have the assets to pull off a trade? Well, they just might - and it might make sense. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Over the last 14 GP, Pens’ PK is 36-for-40 (90.0%), having allowed a PPG in just 3 of those games.

The #LetsGoPens are turning heads this season, as they are in a playoff spot and far exceeding outside expectations. And if they do make the playoffs, GM and POHO Kyle Dubas deserves some recognition for his work this season. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens secured an important two points on their first leg of a four-game Western swing Monday. And, yes, they were big points, as they're starting to create a bit more separation. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me." #LetsGoPens winger Rickard Rakell has dreamed of representing Sweden at the Olympic games for a long time. And he'll finally get his chance in less than a month. Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Yes, the #LetsGoPens got a crucial point. Yes, they dropped another game in the shootout. But maybe it's not the shootouts themselves that are the biggest issue. Maybe it's the frequency at which they're required for the Penguins. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens secured an important 6-3 victory over the cross-state rival Flyers, catapulting them to third in the Metro and snapping their three-game skid. On a complete win in which they finally broke through on the scoresheet: @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Rare W from Bettman.

"I felt like I was part of this family right off the bat." I sat down with new #LetsGoPens goaltender Stuart Skinner to talk hockey, his transition to Pittsburgh, and playing with all-time greats. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

"I'm lucky to be able to play with him." There's a lot of talk about #LetsGoPens future Hall-of-Fame center Evgeni Malkin playing the wing, but what is that experience like for his 18-year-old rookie center, Ben Kindel? Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens earned their sixth straight win in a decisive 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. And maybe it's about time we acknowledge that - when healthy - this is a pretty good hockey team. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

During #LetsGoPens practice Wednesday, center Evgeni Malkin practiced on rookie Ben Kindel's wing. And Malkin's deployment shows how much better the team's center depth is this season than it has been in years. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Well, if you're depressed about the Steelers' offense, how about them Penguins? They put together an impressive comeback overtime win for their fifth-straight victory, and they're right back in the race for the Metro. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #LetsGoPens thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

"You can never be satisfied in this league." With every passing day at the NHL level, #LetsGoPens forward Rutger McGroarty is taking things day-by-day and constantly finding new ways to improve his overall game. Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens emerged victorious in OT against the Detroit Red Wings - the top team in the East - courtesy of Kris Letang, who had a milestone night. The team is on a roll, and there are some standouts in this stretch. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

With 2025 nearly in the books, a new year is upon us. And that means some resolutions are in order, too. So what should each #LetsGoPens player resolve to accomplish in 2026? Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens played arguably their best game in the month of December last night in a 5-1 win against the division-leading Carolina Hurricanes. And their second line led the way. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

While I finish my recap for tonight's win against the Carolina Hurricanes, here's my take on the Chinakhov trade and what it could mean for the #LetsGoPens going forward ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens have two prospects participating in #WorldJuniors And, while Will Horcoff has been louder with his goal-scoring early on, Harrison Brunicke played a big role at a pivotal time in Canada's 7-5 win over Czechia Friday: @thehockeynews.bsky.social thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens held practice Saturday in Cranberry, and there were a few welcome sights on the ice. On the imminent return of some sorely missed injured players and the holiday break providing a much-needed reset for the Pens: @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens could sure use some holiday spirit and a few gifts from the hockey gods when they come out of the break on Sunday against the Blackhawks. Here are five gifts they could use for the rest of the 2025-26 season ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

At long last, #LetsGoPens captain Sidney Crosby sits alone at the top of Penguins' history. And - in a lot of ways - his latest and greatest accomplishment to date is a reminder of how he keeps redefining greatness. More ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

#LetsGoPens captain Sidney Crosby has officially broken Mario Lemieux's franchise points record and stands alone at eighth on the NHL's all-time points list. Details ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Was doing a write up to sum up the weekend for the WBS Penguins. Took a gander at the standings. What do you mean the Grand Rapids Griffins are 24-1-0-1?!?!!! with a .942?!?!!! points percentage?!?!!!

The #LetsGoPens suffered their eighth consecutive loss Saturday to the Montreal Canadiens. With their season in free fall, where do they go from here? @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens first line of Rickard Rakell, Sidney Crosby, and Bryan Rust has pretty much been a mainstay since the Jake Guentzel trade. But - given their defensive deficiencies - it might be time to split it up. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

There is a lot going wrong for the #LetsGoPens right now. Some blame coaching. Some blame personnel decisions. But this time, it falls on the players. And it starts with the veterans, who need to lead this team out of it. More ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

After a second consecutive blown third-period multi-goal lead, the #LetsGoPens need to find some answers. And fast. "We don't have a choice." More from PPG Paints Arena after another gut-wrenching loss ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Games this season Pens have led in third period and lost: @ Toronto (3-0, lost 4-3) v Los Angeles (2-1, lost 3-2) @ Nashville (1-0, lost 2-1 OT) v Seattle (2-1, lost 3-2 OT) @ Dallas, (2-1, lost 3-2 SO) v Anaheim (3-2, lost 4-3 SO) v San Jose (5-1, lost 6-5 OT)

Very normal day in the NHL.

It's very wild and funny that the Buffalo Sabres are catching strays from the Heated Rivalry universe.

The Jarry trade is a good one for the Pens: - Kulak is an upgrade at LD - The 2nd-round pick - Skinner really isn't all that different from Jarry - Both players are only under contract this season - No salary retained - Jarry's contract for three more years is off the books Great business by Dubas

Seriously, though, Jarry deserves a lot of credit for battling his ass off after two AHL demotions and climbing his way back. Huge reason for the Pens good start. Love the trade with no retention, and giving them flippable assets for the deadline.

Obviously, the biggest hockey news of the day is that Heated Rivalry has been renewed for a second season.

"No one wanted to be a difference-maker." The #LetsGoPens suffered their third straight loss Thursday in a lackluster matchup against the Habs, and it was a weak response to Tuesday's bad loss. And they can't let it all spiral ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens endured their worst and most shocking loss of the season last night, and shootouts continue to be a problem. On this and a lot of positives otherwise out of last night's 4-3 SO loss. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Tonight, the #LetsGoPens will face Jake Guentzel for the fifth time since he left Pittsburgh via trade in 2024. And the trade tree quite expansive at this point. Here is that trade tree revisited ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens put forth a dominant, much-needed effort against the Flyers in a 5-1 win Monday. And there was certainly a lot of credit to go around in this one. Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Really good win for the #LetsGoPens tonight. 5-1 is the final score. Jarry was phenomenal, the kids are alright, and Sidney Crosby still owns the Philadelphia Flyers.

There are a lot of #LetsGoPens prospects putting together solid 2025-26 campaigns. Here is our forward prospects update for the month of November ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Still have something nasty that's been ailing me since Wednesday, so I won't be at the game tonight. I'll still have some post-game notes and a recap for you tonight. Just no live coverage, unfortunately ☹️ Stay safe and well out there, friends.

This Thanksgiving, the #LetsGoPens have a lot to celebrate, including being in a playoff position at this point in the season. Here are five other things they should be thankful for ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...
