Poulin & Puljujarvi Could Provide Penguins with Depth Scoring
January 31, 2024 by Sylvie McCarthy
Right before the All-Star Break, the Pittsburgh Penguins managed to earn three points and they now sit in fifth place in the Metro. They are only one point behind the New York Islanders and five points behind the Philadelphia Flyers. When Pittsburgh returns from the break, they will face the Winnipeg Jets who are currently 30-12-5 and sit in third place in the Central Division.Â
The Penguins have been struggling lately to put a full team performance together for 60 minutes. One of their major areas of concern is the bottom six. Although depth scoring has improved this season, it is still not where it should be. The top-six can’t do it all, and they have to find a way to jump-start their depth. There could be some possible help for this down in Wilkes-Barre.
Penguins’ Underrated MVPs
February 9, 2024 by Sylvie McCarthy
With a little more than half the season gone, the Pittsburgh Penguins are very much in control of their own playoff destiny and there are a few players who deserve some recognition for their performance up to this point. There is no doubt that captain Sidney Crosby is the team’s most valuable player and should be in the Hart Trophy conversation this season. However, the Penguins have some underrated MVPs who also deserve to be highlighted.Â
3 Trades Rangers Can Make as Deadline Deals Already Go Down
February 4, 2024 by Jesse Courville-Lynch
The New York Rangers have entered the All-Star Break in a strong position as they find themselves atop the Metropolitan Division with a two-point gap on the second-place Carolina Hurricanes. While the All-Star Weekend wasn’t expected to be busy as teams take a break and try to get refreshed for the second half of the season, it was exactly the opposite.
It started with the Calgary Flames trading Elias Lindholm to the Vancouver Canucks for a massive package including Andrei Kuzmenko. That was followed up by the news of the Los Angeles Kings relieving Todd McLellan of his duties as head coach, and the Montreal Canadiens trading Sean Monahan to the Winnipeg Jets. With three big names off the board now, the Rangers will still be looking to make the right moves to help themselves make a strong push for the Stanley Cup.
