Penguins enact development plans for rookies Harrison Brunicke, Ben Kindel
Pittsburgh Penguins rookie forward Ben Kindel reached a significant milestone Thursday when he appeared in his 10th NHL game.

Penguins tame Wild as rookie forward Ben Kindel scores in 10th game
Even if they have a handful of 30-somethings close to becoming 40-somethings, the Pittsburgh Penguins are in the midst of a youth movement.

Dizzying heights at venues like PPG Paints Arena unsettle upper-level spectators
For Pittsburgher Fabian Carrazana, going to a hockey game or concert means braving the vertigo-inducing pitch of PPG Paints Arena. “The upper bowl is terrifying,” Carrazana said Wednesday, two days after witnessing a man at a Pittsburgh Penguins game suffer life-threatening injuries after falling from the venue’s upper level. “It’s...
Mark Madden: The teenagers have helped rejuvenate the Penguins, so keep them around
Ben Kindel has played nine games, Harrison Brunicke seven.
