Penguins’ Marcus Pettersson showing surprising offensive punch

NEWARK, N.J. – When the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Marcus Pettersson from the Anaheim Ducks in December, his offensive abilities were pretty far down the list of reasons they coveted the lanky Swedish defenseman.

Tim Benz: Players say Penguins must ‘Embrace the Race’ to playoffs

So much for that sweep. In advance of this weekend’s back-to-back home games for the Penguins, I wrote that skating away with two victories was important for the organization. I wanted to see this 2018-19 Pens club — renowned for its sputtering inconsistency — to get on a roll akin...

Playing 3rd-line center for Penguins can be tricky

As Monday’s trade deadline starts to come into focus, one aspect of this season’s annual NHL swap meet will be very different for Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford than last year’s. This time, he won’t be looking for a third-line center. Last year, anticipation for the Penguins adding a...

Tim Benz: Zach Aston-Reese looks like best fit on Evgeni Malkin’s left wing

Penguins defensemen have game to remember against Rangers

It’s not unusual to see Kris Letang score goals. In fact, in the past week, he’s flown past Paul Coffey into the top spot of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ all-time list of goals scored by a defenseman. What’s odd is for him to have so much company. In a 6-5 victory...
Evgeni Malkin scores twice – again – as Penguins topple Rangers

There is little that could lift the Pittsburgh Penguins out of the hole they’ve dug for themselves in the Eastern Conference playoff race faster than a resurgent Evgeni Malkin. As luck would have it, they just might have one of those on the roster. Malkin scored two goals for the...
