Ex-Penguins defenseman Cody Ceci enjoyed a 'short but sweet stay in Pittsburgh'
Things were bad for Cody Ceci in the early fall of 2020. But he was hardly alone. The pandemic had crippled so many walks of life that autumn, including the business of being a professional hockey player. And given that Ceci was coming off a poor season with the Toronto...

Penguins forward Rickard Rakell is racking up points 
Evgeni Malkin and Rickard Rakell had a spat on Monday morning. “First time he passed to me!” Malkin bellowed. “Yeah, it was nice that he drove the net,” Rakell retorted. “Not drove,” Malkin claimed. “Flying!” Rakell was asked by a reporter about how he set up Malkin for a power-play...
Penguins maintain belief in being a playoff team despite another ugly loss
When things have gone bad for the Pittsburgh Penguins over the past decade and change, Evgeni Malkin has usually been there to serve as the franchise’s prime meridian. Usually through his actions but certainly with his words as well. The superstar forward doesn’t speak after each and every game. But...
Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry expected to return against Islanders
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry is scheduled to return to the lineup and start Monday’s home game against the New York Islanders at PPG Paints Arena.

Penguins' 3rd line continues to struggle 
Jeff Carter made a rare appearance on the scoresheet Saturday. Twice, in fact. He took two penalties during the Penguins’ 5-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils at PPG Paints Arena. In total, he had exactly two more penalties than he had shots in the contest. His wingers on the...

Penguins drop another Metropolitan Division game, fall to Devils
There are no disclaimers or qualifiers as to the gravity each and every game will command for the Pittsburgh Penguins from here on out until the conclusion of the regular season. They haven’t been good enough in their first 55 games of the 2022-23 campaign to harbor the luxury of...
Penguins expected to start goaltender Dustin Tokarski against Devils
The Pittsburgh Penguins are scheduled to start reserve goaltender Dustin Tokarski in Saturday’s home game against the New Jersey Devils at PPG Paints Arena.

Penguins, Casey DeSmith stumble against Islanders 
Pittsburgh Penguins backup goaltender Casey DeSmith reached a threshold of some significance Friday as his team faced the New York Islanders at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. He appeared in his 27th contest of the season and tied hobbled starter Tristan Jarry for most games played among the team’s goaltenders....
Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry's status remains uncertain
Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry’s uncertain status remains … well … uncertain. Sidelined for the past seven games, Jarry was absent from Thursday’s practice session at the team’s facility in Cranberry in order to attend previously scheduled doctors’ appointments, coach Mike Sullivan said. Jarry is slated to join his teammates...
Penguins players aren't oblivious to the trade deadline, but they're not dwelling on it
Rickard Rakell is in a very different position today than he was roughly 11 months ago. He knows he’s not going anywhere by the time the NHL’s trade deadline rolls around in just under two weeks on March 3. But March 21, 2022, his future was far from certain. As...
Minor league report: Valtteri Puustinen, Penguins snap losing streak 
An overtime goal by forward Valtteri Puustinen gave the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins a 3-2 home win against the rival Hershey Bears at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

How much do the Penguins look at a tablet on the bench?
Sidney Crosby isn’t quite sure when he first started using a tablet to watch video on the bench. But the Pittsburgh Penguins’ captain knows which one of his teammates is to “blame” for starting the trend. “’Tanger’,” a smirking Crosby said of his longtime friend and teammate, defenseman Kris Letang....
Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith stout in win against Sharks
The Pittsburgh Penguins’ methods aren’t all that complicated. If they possess the puck, they’ll probably succeed. That’s not anything specific to them either. It’s pretty much basic Hockey 101. “When our team is at its best, we control territory,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said to media that traveled to San...
Former Penguins 1st-rounder Joe Morrow signs in Switzerland
Former Penguins defenseman Joe Morrow signed with HC Davos of Switzerland’s National League on Tuesday. The transaction was announced by the team via a release.

Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry remains sidelined
Pittsburgh Penguins backup goaltender Casey DeSmith is slated to start his seventh consecutive game when his team faces the San Jose Sharks at the SAP Center in San Jose on Tuesday. That is the longest streak of consecutive starts for any Penguins goaltender this season. Tristan Jarry, currently sidelined because...
Penguins forward Rickard Rakell still learning to play with Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin
Rickard Rakell experienced a career milestone Friday. He took the ice at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., for the first time in his 11-year career. Of course, he played plenty of games there before. But the first 275 contests he appeared in at that venue came in the black,...
Penguins forward Sidney Crosby gets the 1st game misconduct of his career 
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby had done a lot in 18 seasons. But on Saturday, he experienced a first in his nearly two decades as an NHL player: He received a game misconduct during a 6-0 road loss to the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena. The infraction came at...
Penguins routed by Kings, suffering 1st shutout loss of the season 
The Pittsburgh Penguins’ road game Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena was falsely advertised by the NHL as having a start time of 10:30 p.m. on the eastern seaboard. In all reality, it began at 11:08 p.m. because the Kings staged a lavish (and lengthy) pre-game celebration...
Minor league report: Penguins' losing streak reaches 5 
Goaltender Filip Lindberg made 33 saves on 35 shots for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in a 3-1 home loss to the Providence Bruins at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Penguins rookie defenseman P.O Joseph steps up in Kris Letang's absence 
It wasn’t a new theme for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Far from it. In fact, if they were a band, it could be classified as one of their classics. Playing without All-Star defenseman Kris Letang. They’ve done it quite a bit over the past decade and particularly so this season as...
