This isn’t anything new for Nick Bonino. Given his role and style of play, pain and injury are old friends. Back in the spring of 2017, Bonino was able to play Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final with a broken tibia he suffered after blocking a shot. He missed...

The Pittsburgh Penguins altered all four of their lines Saturday out of necessity. There were two reasons for the augmentation. First, and most tangibly, they learned Friday they would be without the services of forward Nick Bonino for several weeks because of a lacerated kidney he suffered Thursday. His absence...

In the first half-century of the rivalry between the teams, there’s never been a deficit of heartbreak for the Pittsburgh Penguins against the New York Islanders.

He jettisoned forwards Teddy Blueger, Kasperi Kapanen as well as Brock McGinn while annexing Nick Bonino and Mikael Granlund. But he didn’t ignore his blue line. On...

Nick Bonino’s memory was a bit fuzzy. A gulf of almost six years will do that. He was a bit unsure of how to find his way to PPG Paints Arena for practice Monday. “I had my maps app,” Bonino quipped. “So, I was OK.” Cartological concerns noted, the important...

Penguins forward Jake Guentzel was absent from practice at PPG Paints Arena on Monday for what was termed as a “maintenance day” by coach Mike Sullivan. He is expected to be available for Tuesday’s home game against the Columbus Blue Jackets according to Sullivan. A staple on the top line...
