An updated look at the Penguins’ pending free agents
Photo by Joe Sargent/NHLI via Who has helped and hurt their stock the most? Nobody has done more to help their stock than forward Jason Zucker. Back in December we looked at the Pittsburgh Penguins’ pending unrestricted free agents and who was making the best case to get a new contract with the team. A lot can change in two months, so let’s check back in with them and see if anybody’s potential status with the team beyond this season has changed. Tristan Jarry Jarry’s play speaks for itself.

Pittsburgh Penguins Organizational Players of the Month: January
Photo by Andrew Mordzynski/Icon Sportswire via Sidney Crosby is back on top of the PensBurgh awards for January Another month has gone by, and January wasn’t the prettiest for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The month and new year started outdoors at the NHL’s showcase event, the Winter Classic. It wasn’t one to remember very fondly for the Pens, who fell 2-1 and saw starting goalie Tristan Jarry get hurt along the way. Unfortunately, both of these events could be seen a setting a negative tone that lingered on for a while. The injury would keep Jarry out for the...

We might need to add goalie depth to the list of Penguins needs
Photo by Joe Sargent/NHLI via At least when it comes to quality depth at the position behind Tristan Jarry. The good news for the Pittsburgh Penguins is they not only managed to beat a team (the Florida Panthers) that is trying to chase them down in the Eastern Conference playoff race on Tuesday night, but that they also managed to get a win in overtime. Kris Letang returned and scored two goals and had four points, they found some depth scoring, and they managed to get two very important points in the standings. The bad news for the Pittsburgh Penguins is we might...

Sunday Standings: Are the Penguins a fourth place team?
Photo by Jeanine Leech/Icon Sportswire via The Penguins look like they could be a fourth place team in the division this season Here’s how the standings look this morning. Assuming the Penguins are on the upswing now that Tristan Jarry and Jeff Petry have returned (with Kris Letang and a few others soon to be on the way) Pittsburgh might have weathered their most trying storm this season. That’s the good news, with absorbing those tough times and keeping their winning percentage in striking distance of being at the .600% mark. The bad news is a couple of teams...

Ron Hextall should try something bold
Photo by Kavin Mistry/NHLI via Take a page out of the Jim Rutherford playbook and do something wild Nothing about Ron Hextall’s career as a general manager in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh indicates that he is willing to do something like this, but a man can dream, right? It is pretty clear that the Pittsburgh Penguins need a spark right now. While I still maintain that a lot of their current problems can be fixed by simply getting Kris Letang, Jeff Petry, and Tristan Jarry back in the lineup, they still need more help beyond that. Particularly when it comes to their...
