Points of Emphasis: Pens' Coach Johnston Survives Big Test
October 29th, 2015 The Pittsburgh Penguins power play failed to show up once again, this time in their game versus the Washington Captials. During the first period, the Pens had a 5-on-3 power play that resulted in "diddly" immediately followed by a 5-on-4 power play earning them...
Points of Emphasis: Fleury Found The Way
October 25th, 2015 A dominant 38-save showing by Marc-Andre Fleury and a decent (if untested) Pekka Rinne kept the score tied at the end of regulation.

It was the only time this season that Jagr travels to Pittsburgh for a regulation game, so it very well could have been his last trip to town as a player. Marc-Andre Fleury allowed two goals; one was a beauty from Quinton...

Shot numbers were low during the first half of the game, yet the team still carried the lead and finished with a total of 33. The Pens are now 8-2 in their last 10 games versus the Leafs, and have won six straight in the series. It was the first...
Points of Emphasis: Sprong Scores First NHL Goal; Pens Win
October 16th, 2015 The Pens gained a lead for the first time this season in the 2nd period when Evgeni Malkin scored his first goal. Shortly thereafter, rookie Daniel Sprong scored his first NHL goal to push the Pens lead to two. Here's that Sprong goal: https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/654812887391694849 Regardless of whether he sticks...
