Penguins forward Drew O’Connor eager to take on larger role

In the majority of cases, membership within the Pittsburgh Penguins bottom-six forwards last season eventually led to a ticket out of town.

Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry has new look to go with new contract

There isn’t much to distinguish Tristan Jarry from the rest of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ goaltenders. At least cosmetically. In the early days of training camp in Cranberry, Jarry has been sporting nearly all white pads. Just like projected backup Alex Nedeljovic. And reserve Magnus Hellberg. And prospects Joel Blomqvist and...
Elijah Riley, Isaiahh Loudermillk forced to take on bigger roles on Steelers defense

North Allegheny, Central Catholic are familiar rivals, but this No. 1 vs. No. 2 clash has different feel

North Allegheny’s practices were noticeably faster this week, said coach Art Walker, but the Tigers weren’t getting off the field any earlier. It’s just that the defense was working at a quicker pace. “We practice for the team that we’re playing,” Walker said. “I’ve been here 19 years now, and...

With the future of AM unclear, a look back at the powerful role radio plays in baseball history

NEW YORK — Growing up in the Boston suburbs, Suzyn Waldman fell madly in love with two things: baseball and Broadway shows. During the 1950s and ’60s, the long arm of AM radio brought both into her home. “I can still hear Ned Martin of the Red Sox reciting poetry...
Tim Benz: Penguins look for smoother jump from offseason hope to regular season reality than Steelers have endured

Mark Madden: Like Paul Coffey before him, Erik Karlsson is perfect fit for Penguins’ high-octane style

Erik Karlsson isn’t 100% unique. Not quite a unicorn. Pittsburgh hockey fans have seen one like him before. It’s just been a while. (Hint: He wore No. 77.) Since joining the Penguins via trade with San Jose, Karlsson has been conversationally lumped in with Kris Letang. Both are called offensive...

Miguel Andujar’s aggressive approach at plate paying off in 2nd stint with Pirates

Miguel Andujar is taking an aggressive approach to the plate, one that is paying dividends for the Pittsburgh Pirates outfield this September.

Pitt Take 5: With No. 17 Tar Heels in town, Panthers hope to avoid rare 1-3 start

Pitt has lost three of its first four games only three times this century (2017, 2005 and 2001), but the Panthers will be on the brink of a fourth slow start Saturday night against 17th-ranked North Carolina at Acrisure Stadium. Twice (in ’17 and ’05), Pitt won only four more...
