Teddy Blueger’s value grows for Penguins

TORONTO — It wasn’t Game 7 of a playoff series. It wasn’t even Game 3. It was Game 58 of the regular season. And it was against a team that might not make the postseason. And the Pittsburgh Penguins already were up four goals. Suffice to say, when the Penguins...
Finally healthy, Zach Trotman happy to be back with Penguins

TORONTO — The scar is very pronounced. It traverses diagonally across Zach Trotman’s upper lip, just under his nose. But aside from a handful of shifts, the only thing Trotman missed as a result of being struck in the face by a skate was a few meals. “Luckily, it didn’t...

Penguins power play has turned into weapon through structure, flexibilityVideo

It’s a balancing act, and it is tested most by the power play. Recent results suggest the Penguins are navigating...
Penguins’ Mike Sullivan: Sidney Crosby has ‘been terrific’ since return from surgeryVideo

That Sidney Crosby has 23 points and has been part of just three regulation losses in the 13 games he’s played since a two-month injury layoff is not surprising to Mike Sullivan. Neither is that Crosby has 15 points while leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 6-1-1 record over the...

Empty Thoughts: Penguins 5, Maple Leafs 2

Observations from the Penguins’ 5-2 win against the Maple Leafs: First things first, Evgeni Malkin was a very late scratch for this game after he fell ill in the late afternoon. He participated briefly in warmups but was ultimately ailing far too much to participate in the game. In his...
