Penguins' Letang Will Rebound in 2018-19
September 20th, 2018 The 2017-18 season wasn't a highlight for Kris Letang.

At times, he looked like the player who anchored the Penguins' defense to the 2016 Stanley Cup but at others, he looked lost....

The “Flower” was the anchor on a very bad team, and eventually saw three Stanley...

Teams will sign free agents, newly drafted prospects will replace veterans, and teams will move some high-profile players.

What’s Next for the Pittsburgh Penguins?
May 9th, 2018 For the first time since Apr. 24, 2015, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions were unable to complete the comeback, losing to their rivals, the Washington Capitals, in Game 6. So what’s next for the Penguins? A well-deserved break. Despite a losing effort,...
