The Penguins have agreed to re-sign arguably their most versatile player. Forward Evan Rodrigues has agreed to a one-year deal worth $1 million.

Like a lot of kids who grew up in Minnesota, Tristan Broz gravitated to hockey. After all, it’s the self-proclaimed “state of hockey.” But he didn’t root for the local NHL club. “The Wild was always kind of a little bit of a boring team to watch, played a boring...

With their final pick in the draft, the Penguins selected forward Kirill Tankov in the seventh round (No. 218 overall).

Penguins general manager Ron Hextall was not ambiguous about why he jettisoned Jared McCann and Brandon Tanev over the past handful of days. He wanted salary cap space. But he also acknowledged their departures — coupled with second-line center Evgeni Malkin being sidelined as he recovers from a right knee...

The Pittsburgh Penguins did not have a selection in the first round of the NHL’s entry draft Friday. That pick (No. 26 overall) was sent to the Minnesota Wild in February 2020 as part of the trade that brought forward Jason Zucker to Pittsburgh. They are scheduled to have five...

The Pittsburgh Penguins will open the 2021-22 season in banner fashion. Literally. They will travel to the Gulf Coast of Florida and face the defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning on Oct. 12 at Amalie Arena as the hosts raise their most recent championship banner.
