Penguins have to get more from the power play
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports 0 for 20! The Pens are struggling right now with the man advantage Three weeks ago today was Sunday October 13th. It was 20 power play chances ago for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second period against the Winnipeg Jets when Jake Guentzel scored, assisted by not-exactly-PP-specialists in Brian Dumoulin and Marcus Pettersson. It’s also the last power play goal the Pens have managed. Ironically, since then they’ve scored three goals while short-handed since that moment, but nothing while having the man advantage. Part of the slump is doubtlessly...

Let’s take a look at Kris Letang’s great start
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports He is still the team’s best blue liner and is on his way to another season where he should compete for the Norris Trophy. Sometimes in sports we overrate the underrated, and the Pittsburgh Penguins’ top defense pairing is a pretty good example. It is pretty much a universally held opinion by everyone that watches the Penguins closely that Brian Dumoulin is an underrated player. And league-wide, he probably is. He is a superb defensive player, and a reliable, steady hand that probably has a bit more offensive punch than his goal-scoring numbers...

The week ahead: schedule turns friendly for the Penguins
Photo by Matthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire via We preview the week ahead for the Pittsburgh Penguins Without a doubt the story for the first month of the season for the Pittsburgh Penguins has been about hanging on through mounting injuries. It started with Bryan Rust getting hurt in the last preseason game. Nick Bjugstad and Evgeni Malkin both went down injured in the second game of the regular season. Alex Galchenyuk was dealing with a nagging groin injury since the preseason and allegedly suffered a setback when bit by a spider. Brian Dumoulin has missed the last four games with a...
