Penguins in Good Shape as Playoffs Near

Penguins in Good Shape as Playoffs Near

March 31st, 2019 While they struggled through the first three and a half months of the season, the Pittsburgh Penguins remained close enough in the postseason race that it wasn't too late once they started to pile up wins. With just four games to go in the 2018-19 season, they're poised to make the playoffs for a 13th consecutive season, barring some...
Pittsburgh Penguins' 50-Goal Scorers

Pittsburgh Penguins' 50-Goal Scorers

March 25th, 2019 Players who score 50 goals in a season are considered elite scorers. Throughout the league's 101-year history, 91 unique players have combined to reach the 50-goal plateau 194 different times. The Pittsburgh Penguins, while not joining the NHL until the expansion wave of 1967, have nine players who've combined to reach this plateau...
Penguins Pulpit: Late Leads, Murray & Guentzel

Penguins Pulpit: Late Leads, Murray & Guentzel

March 25th, 2019 The Pittsburgh Penguins have provided plenty of scares along the way but will earn their 13th consecutive playoff berth in the coming days barring a complete collapse over the season's final two weeks. In what was their first of an undetermined number of weeks without star center Evgeni Malkin, the Penguins managed to pick up five...
Penguins Pulpit: Malkin, Kessel & Gudbranson

Penguins Pulpit: Malkin, Kessel & Gudbranson

March 19th, 2019 The Pittsburgh Penguins inched closer to a playoff berth by earning five of eight possible points this week, but things could've, and should've, gone better than they did. However, with the Montreal Canadiens fading from contention, the Penguins still exited the week seven points clear in a playoff spot. The team started strong on...
Penguins Pulpit: Murray, Simon & McCann

Penguins Pulpit: Murray, Simon & McCann

March 12th, 2019 The Pittsburgh Penguins aren't promised a playoff spot yet, but if they keep having more weeks like their most recent one, the letter "X" should appear by their name before the calendar turns to April. In a four-game week that featured two matchups against a team that's chasing them, the Columbus Blue Jackets, and meetings...
Penguins Pulpit: Schultz, Crosby and Murray

Penguins Pulpit: Schultz, Crosby and Murray

March 5th, 2019 Under head coach Mike Sullivan, the Pittsburgh Penguins seem to be at their best when dealing with adversity, and they've certainly dealt with a lot of it over the last week. After losing Brian Dumoulin and Kris Letang to a concussion and neck injury, respectively, in addition to already missing Olli Maatta, the Penguins were down three...
Penguins Trade for Gudbranson Is a Head Scratching Move

Penguins Trade for Gudbranson Is a Head Scratching Move

February 26th, 2019 I mentioned a few days ago that the worst move the Pittsburgh Penguins could make at the 2019 Trade Deadline would be dealing for Alex Chiasson of the Edmonton Oilers. It appears Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford saw that and decided to blindside everybody with a jaw-dropping trade. The Penguins sent Tanner Pearson to the...
Penguins Pulpit: Letang, Dumoulin, Aston-Reese and a Deadline Target

Penguins Pulpit: Letang, Dumoulin, Aston-Reese and a Deadline Target

February 25th, 2019 The Pittsburgh Penguins entered the week in control of their destiny, but now exit it in pursuit of the Carolina Hurricanes, Montreal Canadiens and Columbus Blue Jackets. I mentioned in last week's Penguins Pulpit that they'd likely need to earn at least five of a possible six points this week to stay ahead of the pack, so...
