Radim Zohorna began Monday as the Pittsburgh Penguins’ third-line center. He will end the day as a member of the Calgary Flames. The power forward was claimed by the Flames a day after the Penguins placed him on waivers. This transaction brings Zohorna’s intriguing but ultimately unfulfilled tenure with the...

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ offseason had a pretty obvious theme. It was all about bringing back a group that has won Stanley Cup titles. That was the focus of management when it re-signed Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Bryan Rust. And Josh Archibald. Okay … maybe not him. But Archibald was...

Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry will not play in Monday’s preseason road game against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena due to an illness.

The Penguins announced their lineup for Monday’s road preseason game against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena. Of note, forwards Radim Zohorna and Sam Poulin are included. Zohorna was waived by the team on Sunday and it won’t be learned if he will clear waivers until 2 p.m....

The Pittsburgh Penguins cut 17 players from their training camp roster Sunday. But one transaction they made with a player who remains on the roster was arguably their most curious. Forward Radim Zohorna, entering his third season with the organization, was one of five players placed on waivers. The 26-year-old...

Nathan Legare’s first professional season of 2021-22 offered plenty of new experiences. Like healthy scratches. A total of 18 healthy scratches, including the playoffs, to be precise. The Pittsburgh Penguins’ third-round pick (No. 74 overall) in the 2019 draft, Legare was a prolific scorer at the junior level, and there...

There are three veterans in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ training camp who never have played a game in the minor leagues. Two are obvious. Forwards Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are pillars of the franchise. The other is journeyman forward Drake Caggiula, a player the Penguins signed to a one-year, two-way...

Goaltender Tristan Jarry made 32 saves on 34 shots for the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 3-1 road loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday at the KeyBank Center. The Sabres took the contest’s first lead 12 minutes, 14 seconds into the second period. From above the left circle of the...

It would be a stretch to say Owen Pickering’s first NHL training camp has gone well. An undisclosed injury has limited what the Pittsburgh Penguins’ first-round pick (No. 21 overall) in July’s draft has been able to do until recent days when he began resuming contact in practices. Before that,...

Drew O’Connor’s third NHL training camp is a whole heck of a lot different than his first. When he first reported to the Pittsburgh Penguins’ camp, the world was a lot different. January of 2021 offered some of the darkest days of the pandemic and hindered just about every walk...

The Pittsburgh Penguins learned the hard way about the value of goaltending depth last postseason. With starter Tristan Jarry (right foot) and backup goaltender Casey DeSmith (groin) sidelined because of various injuries, they were forced to rely on reserve Louis Domingue in their first-round loss to the New York Rangers....

When Jan Rutta labels a team as a Stanley Cup contender, he speaks from an area of expertise. After all, he has played in the past three Stanley Cup Finals and was successful in two of them. A member of the Tampa Bay Lightning for parts of the past four...

The summer of 2022 wasn’t all that different than the summer of 2021 for Danton Heinen. His employer opted to let him go. During the 2021 offseason, the versatile forward had just concluded an underwhelming campaign as a member of the Anaheim Ducks, who opted not to extend him a...

Up until Tuesday, the Penguins had largely not worked on their power play in the early stages of training camp. On Tuesday, they got plenty of opportunity to address that special teams unit. They had nine opportunities to be precise. And each of them failed. Despite having an ample 16:57...

Penguins forward Kasperi Kapanen will miss Tuesday’s home preseason game against the Detroit Red Wings because of an undisclosed ailment.

With the naked eye, it’s difficult to identify any discernible differences with P.O Joseph in his fourth training camp as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. With one exception.
