Tristan Jarry was a few weeks shy of his 11th birthday when the Pittsburgh Penguins, led by a couple of teenagers named Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, made the playoffs in the spring of 2007. That marked the first of 15 consecutive years in which the franchise qualified for the...

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin remained sidelined for Saturday’s road game against the rival Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena in Washington.

Springtime in Washington usually brings a few things. Such as cherry blossoms and postseason battles between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals. But these are different times in the nation’s capital, in a lot of ways. The cherry blossoms are still there. But the playoffs haven’t arrived just yet because...

Having earned points in 16 of 19 games before Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Penguins have reached a pretty firm conclusion. Defense comes first.

Mike Lange had homework to do Monday night. For a few nights, in fact. Having been on hiatus as a precaution because of the pandemic, Lange listened to his temporary replacement, Josh Getzoff, aptly handle the duties as the play-by-play radio broadcaster for the Penguins’ first 49 games of the...

Bryan Rust knows his math. After all, the Penguins forward was a finance major at Notre Dame. So his choice of verbiage to explain a pass he received from linemate Sidney Crosby in a recent game was fitting. “Sid’s geometry was pretty good there.” During the first period of a...

Observations from the Penguins’ 1-0 win against the Bruins: Jake Guentzel scored the winning — and only — goal early in the third period of Sunday’s game. But in reality, he won the game much later. The Bruins had pulled goaltender Jeremy Swayman late in regulation for an extra attacker...

To little surprise, All-Star Kris Letang has been the Pittsburgh Penguins’ most prolific defenseman this season with 39 points (seven goals, 32 assists) in 47 games. Their second-most productive blue-liner might be a bit surprising, particularly to those in Toronto. Cody Ceci. During Saturday’s 4-2 home win against the New...

There was a time when Bryan Rust wanted nothing to do with 20 goals. Not the idea. The discussion. On the occasions Rust got up around 17 or 18 goals in earlier stages of his career, a reporter might ask the versatile Pittsburgh Penguins winger if potentially reaching the 20-goal...
