Pens Points: Matt Murray carrying on Pens goalie tradition of being a standup dude
Matt Murray makes a kid’s day, and more in Penguins news today Matt Murray has some big shoes to fill for being a solid guy as Penguins starting goalie, but he’s off to a good start. [Bardown] "Best day ever!" for this young Matt Murray fan running a lemonade stand to raise money for the Humane Society when guess who showed up! pic.twitter.com/KsbrvhqSNu— PuckShots (@Puck_Shots) July 16, 2017 And here’s the GoFundMe for the lemonade stand if you’d like to help the cause from afar.

Schultz Deal Worth Every Penny for Penguins
Justin Schultz signed on for three more years with the Pittsburgh Penguins this Saturday. His contract is no Carey Price-style bank-breaker, but it’s not chump change either. The deal’s $5.5 million average annual value makes Schultz the fifth-highest-paid player on the team, cheaper only than Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang. That’s a $4 million […]

Russia's Pavlychev taking the slow route to a Penguins spot
Nikita Pavlychev, a 20-year-old center from Yarolsavl, Russia, is taking a slow route in his development and that’s intentional. The 6-foot-7 forward was drafted in the seventh round of the 2015 NHL Draft and was seen as something of a…

Sidney Crosby would “love” to play goal and face ex-Red Wing 1-on-1
Pittsburgh Penguins superstar forward Sidney Crosby isn’t very popular around the NHL fan bases outside of Pittsburgh. Needless to say, he still isn’t well liked around Detroit stemming from the 2008 and 2009 Stanley Cup Finals, the latter of which resulted in Crosby and the Penguins raising the Cup on Detroit’s home ice. He’s accomplished […]

Penguins' prospect Connor Hall just wants to play to prove that he can
The physical defenseman was in Pittsburgh for development camp last summer, but his 2016-17 season ended before it really got started. He suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in December that required surgery and ended up playing just 17 games.

Mark Madden: NHL is to blame for Penguins' acquisition of Ryan Reaves, not Jim Rutherford

2017 NHL MOCK DRAFT: Penguins select Jake Oettinger to close out first round
The Lakeville native could be the Penguins’ Goalie of the Future... or the Wild’s... The Pittsburgh Penguins have won the last two Stanley Cup Championships. They have Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin for the next 5 years, at least. Not only are they Top-5 in the game, but the extent to which they make their line mates better boosts their team to an amazing degree. Then add offensive dynamo Phillip J. Kessel, destroyer of hot dogs. Throw Kris Letang and Justin Schultz to the pile. And what about Matt Murray, the 23-year-old with two Stanley Cups to plug his ears? They’ll have about...
