Looking at some playoff models today after last night’s action. The big win for the Penguins strengthens their outlook. pensburgh.com/general/74667/…

The Penguins have lost nine of their last 11 games against Ottawa, who comes into tonight red hot. Looks like a tough matchup in the game preview. pensburgh.com/penguins-lines…

At a critical time of year, the Penguins’ goaltending is not meeting the moment. There’s no clear path forward but a change of the current even rotation might be needed, if not outright bringing up prospect Sergei Murashov. pensburgh.com/general/74602/…

The inability to keep the puck out of the net strikes the Penguins again. Plus another head scratching goaltender interference review! That and more thoughts as we wrap up this game. pensburgh.com/game-recaps/74…

It’s a hockey night in Pittsburgh! MacKinnon and the Avs look for payback on the Pens, who will try to beat mighty Colorado for the second time in two weeks. pensburgh.com/general/74373/…

The week ahead for the Pittsburgh Penguins: It will be tough. But I still think six wins, or some combination to get them 12 more points, is enough. Looking at what it would take for each team chasing them to pass them if they get there. pensburgh.com/analysis/74451… | @Pensburgh

Graves’ contract is “buyout proof” (gain more savings to bury in AHL) but as a form of self-flagellation the Penguins should buy him out anyways. Can use the contract on someone else at least (via @CapWages )

Ryan Graves is just going to pop up four times a season for the next 47 years and get burnt

Ryan Shea is usually not in the spotlight but his play this year is drawing attention for a big contract by this summer. pensburgh.com/analysis/74292…

Kris Letang is struggling, and it is becoming a problem. It does not matter who is on the ice with him. The eye test. The numbers. It is not good. pensburgh.com/analysis/74264… | @Pensburgh

Led by Sidney Crosby, Bryan Rust and Erik Karlsson, the Pens had a lot of battle going tonight. But it was Carolina who got the final save and final shot in a seesaw 6-5 OT ending. Thoughts and highlights here: pensburgh.com/game-recaps/74…

The Penguins finish up their road trip in Carolina. pensburgh.com/general/74164/…

There are a lot of players responsible for the Pittsburgh Penguins performance this season. There have been a lot of players that have stepped up recently without Sidney Crosby (and Evgeni Malkin). Erik Karlsson is at the top of both lists. pensburgh.com/analysis/74118… | @Pensburgh

The week ahead for the Pittsburgh Penguins: Evgeni Malkin is back. The schedule is still incredibly tough. But they have some help now. pensburgh.com/analysis/74071… | @Pensburgh

Five teams are fighting for four playoff spots in the East, which makes the numbers tough for some club out there..A look at how the Penguins are positioned currently within it. pensburgh.com/general/74013/…

The Penguins didn’t earn any style points in their 4-3 win over the Utah Mammoth, but they’ll gladly take the two points where it matters most in the standings. Highlights and thoughts on a disjointed yet lovely win. pensburgh.com/game-recaps/73…

Tired: pointing out Columbus and the Islanders are winning tonight. Wired: seeing the Red Wings annual March collapse continuing

The Penguins get ready for the Utah Mammoth tonight as their long road trip rolls on. pensburgh.com/general/73946/…
