Photo by Justin Berl/ The Penguins rally to force overtime, but once there end up losing to the Carolina Hurricanes Pregame An unhappy surprise for the Penguins, who end their streak of not having anyone unavailable at six games by losing Kris Letang for the night due to an undisclosed illness.

Let’s do this. pic.twitter.com/l7JjQduRwY— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) November 29, 2022 Here’s what the banged up...

Bryan Rust: Early season slump or cause for concern?
Photo by Justin Berl/ His production is down across the board so far this season. With a 7-2-1 record over their past 10 games, and just completing a relatively successful week where they went 2-1-0, the Pittsburgh Penguins appear to be back on track after an early season seven-game losing streak. Sidney Crosby is still playing like a living legend, Tristan Jarry has turned things around, the penalty kill is back to being a strength instead of an Achilles heel, and they starting to climb back up the standings. They have also been relatively healthy for the first time...
