Will Evgeni Malkin Remain A Penguin?

The Superstar Center For the better part of two decades, the Penguins have boasted the best 1-2 punch down the middle.

Bruins: Top-Six Center Options to Consider

With reports coming out of Patrice Bergeron deciding to return to Boston for one more season, the Bruins can sleep tight knowing they are set at center for their top line.

Rangers: Lackluster Effort Leads to Game 4 Loss; Season on the Line Wednesday

Just like that, the New York Rangers’ season is on the brink. The Pittsburgh Penguins put together back-to-back seven-goal efforts on the Rangers. Among notable issues, the Blueshirts don’t seem to have an answer for the Guentzel-Crosby-Rust line. They also don’t seem to have an answer for the Penguins’ power-play unit(s). It’s been all hands […]

Pittsburgh Penguins: Depth comes up huge in Game 3 Win

In Game 1, the Penguins would win a classic in 3OT, with 3 points by Bryan Rust and 2 points by Guentzel, Malkin, and Crosby. Game 2 was a 5-2 loss with goals by Guentzel and Crosby. If the Penguins were going to have any shot in game 3, they would need some more unexpected […]
