Penguins forward Sidney Crosby is finding more goals 
He certainly has scored more iconic goals, both in their gravity and their cosmetic appeal. Heck, this one didn’t even have the impediment of a goaltender in net. But it was an important goal for Sidney Crosby within the context of his 2021-22 season. During the late stages of a...

Penguins won’t face former goaltender Matt Murray on Thursday
Matt Murray’s return to Pittsburgh will have to wait. At least as far him being on the ice in a game is concerned. The Ottawa Senators goaltender, who led the Penguins to their two most recent Stanley Cup titles in 2016 and ’17, will not be in net for Thursday’s...
