Islanders Down Two Players Heading into Do-or-Die Game 5

Islanders Down Two Players Heading into Do-or-Die Game 5

September 15th, 2020 If the New York Islanders were not in enough trouble given their 3-1 series deficit in the Eastern Conference Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning, it got worse when they lost two players to season-ending injuries. Playing without Casey Cizikas is a big blow as he played in every postseason game before being ruled out for Game...
5 Islanders to Watch in the First Round

5 Islanders to Watch in the First Round

April 10th, 2019 The New York Islanders head into a match up with the Pittsburgh Penguins as a bit of an underdog despite their home-ice advantage. The team's defense was the hallmark of the Islanders' season, but their offensive struggles have many thinking the Penguins will be able to simply outscore the Islanders. Additionally, the Penguins have had...
Penguins 4th Line Needs Malkin Back

Penguins 4th Line Needs Malkin Back

April 30th, 2018 The Pittsburgh Penguins’ Evgeni Malkin had 42 goals and 98 points in the 2017-18 season. He’s a dominant second-line center and a key component of the team's power play, where he racked up 38 points over this season. The injury that kept him out of the last two postseason games has been felt keenly. Malkin's absence tests the...
Penguins' PK Changed by Cole's Departure

Penguins' PK Changed by Cole's Departure

February 26th, 2018 In the first half of the season, the Pittsburgh Penguins sat in the bottom of the league on the penalty kill. The Penguins ranked 18th in the league at a kill rate of just over 80 percent from October to December. After the new year, however, they’ve seen serious improvement; since Jan. 1, they’ve ranked second in the league at an...
Matt Calvert Should Be Suspended

Matt Calvert Should Be Suspended

April 15th, 2017 There’s been debate on where exactly Matt Calvert’s stick hit the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Tom Kuhnhackl after Friday night’s game. Some observers have said the stick broke on Kuhnhackl’s upper arm, not his neck. Some have said that Kuhnhackl made the hit worse by leaning into Calvert’s subsequent hit when he doubled over after...
Kuhnhackl Gets A Second Chance

Kuhnhackl Gets A Second Chance

February 21st, 2017 The Pittsburgh Penguins have been hurting as of late. Their injured reserve list over the past few months has included enough core players to make any fan wince. Recent injuries have included those to Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Carl Hagelin. Right now, the Penguins are missing defensemen Olli Maatta and Justin Schultz, both...
Pens Wish For Better PK After New Year

Pens Wish For Better PK After New Year

December 25th, 2016 Power plays are among the most exciting action in professional hockey, especially when a particular unit is scoring goals in droves. Unfortunately, on the other side of a power play is a penalty kill: a not-so-exciting, anxiety-inducing several minutes which has the potential to be a momentous bit of play for the team under siege. For...
Penalty Kills Are Penguins' Achilles Heel

Penalty Kills Are Penguins' Achilles Heel

December 8th, 2016 The Pittsburgh Penguins' penalty kill is in trouble. After giving up three power-play goals during their energetic 8-5 victory over Ottawa a few nights ago, it has become woefully evident that there's a need for adjustment. Currently languishing near the bottom of the league, their PK percentage stands the chance of becoming a...
Penguins Continue Ugly Winning

Penguins Continue Ugly Winning

November 16th, 2016 In some ways, the Pittsburgh Penguins aren't necessarily off to a great start in 2016-17. Unsurprisingly — considering it's only November — they're still trying to find the right blend of forwards that will provide them with the matchup nightmares they created last season. A few individuals — most notably Olli Maatta, Ian Cole,...
Penguins Welcome Back Crosby and Jagr

Penguins Welcome Back Crosby and Jagr

October 26th, 2016 It was Sidney Crosby’s first game of the season after suffering a concussion. Jaromir Jagr made, what is likely, one of his last appearances in Pittsburgh. Based on the billing alone, the matchup between the Penguins and Florida Panthers on Tuesday night was expected to be a special one. It took a period and a half, but it...
Tom Kuhnhackl - Germany's Rising Star

Tom Kuhnhackl - Germany's Rising Star

September 12th, 2016 Tom Kuhnhackl is the pride of German hockey this week. Less than two months after being the first German player to ever bring the Stanley cup to his home country, and only the third to ever hoist it, he scored the game-winning goal on Tuesday against Latvia to clinch a spot in the upcoming winter Olympics for Germany. After not...
Norway, Slovenia, Germany Qualify for 2018 Olympics

Norway, Slovenia, Germany Qualify for 2018 Olympics

September 4th, 2016 Just a couple weeks removed from the 2016 Rio Olympics, we can look ahead to the 2018 Winter Olympics. Men's hockey qualifications were completed Sunday and Norway, Slovenia and Germany all locked up places in the 2018 Games, set to take place in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Norway Norway faced France Sunday for an Olympic berth out of...
Pittsburgh Penguins Sign Rust, Wilson, Kuhnhackl to Extensions

Pittsburgh Penguins Sign Rust, Wilson, Kuhnhackl to Extensions

March 14th, 2016 The Pittsburgh Penguins announced via Twitter that they've signed Bryan Rust, Scott Wilson and Tom Kuhnhackl to two-year contract extensions. https://twitter.com/penguins/status/709424020647583746 All three contracts will kick in next season and run through 2017-18. Details for each contract are as follows... Bryan Rust -...
Pittsburgh Penguins: To Be the Best, You Have to Beat the Best

Pittsburgh Penguins: To Be the Best, You Have to Beat the Best

March 2nd, 2016 The Pittsburgh Penguins faced the Washington Capitals in what most would call a measuring stick game on Tuesday night. Unfortunately for them, they came up a bit short. Overall, Pittsburgh put together a solid performance. In fact, they won the possession battle and controlled play for essentially the entire first half of the game....
Malkin and Bonino Return; Big Decisions Loom for Pens' Brass

Malkin and Bonino Return; Big Decisions Loom for Pens' Brass

February 26th, 2016 Barring a major catastrophe between now and 3pm on Saturday afternoon, Evgeni Malkin and Nick Bonino will return to the Pittsburgh Penguins' lineup. The return of Malkin is a godsend for the Pens; especially on the power play. Their lack of scoring has been well-documented and inserting Geno back into the lineup should only...
