Penguins Still Searching for Answers to Turn Season Around
December 15, 2023 by Sylvie McCarthy
The Pittsburgh Penguins snapped a four-game losing streak against the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday, Dec. 12. There were a lot of things to be encouraged by in the team’s 4-2 victory over the Coyotes, including their first power-play goal in over a month.
This season, one of the Penguins’ biggest struggles has been staying consistent. Before the game against Arizona, they looked like a tired, washed-up team who could not get out of their own way. They have to get to the root of the issue and figure out how to put a consistent game together night in and night out.
Sid the Kid vs. Super Mario: Crosby Still Falls Short
December 11, 2023 by Sylvie McCarthy
Sidney Crosby is in his 17th season as captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins and is playing some of the best hockey of his career. At 36 years old, he is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
This season, he has played in 24 games and has scored 15 goals with 11 assists for a total of 26 points. There is no denying his talent, but does he belong in the same conversation as Penguins’ great Mario Lemieux?
6 Penguins Draft Picks That Didn’t Work Out in Pittsburgh
December 8, 2023 by Nick Horwat
Every team has them. Players they took in a draft but went on to have success in other cities. Maybe the original team didn’t think the player was good enough, or they figured they could get a better return in a trade. Or maybe, they just let the rookie contract run out, and another team swooped in. Either way, these players are castoffs who went on to have stellar NHL careers with other teams.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are no stranger to this dilemma. Over the years, the organization has had plenty of talented players who just couldn’t find their groove in Pittsburgh. In other towns with different teams, these players would flourish into something special.
