Dan’s Daily: Penguins Get Lots of Help; Dubas Moves Timetable
The Pittsburgh Penguins’ playoff standing got some unexpected help and a lot of it Tuesday as all of their rivals lost. Down the board, everyone helped, though the Tampa Bay Lightning earned two points by beating the Philadelphia Flyers. The NHL trade rumors will have to wait as the Penguins may not get clarity on their future for several more weeks. President of hockey operations/GM Kyle Dubas is reportedly kicking the can down the road just a little further. The New Jersey Devils gave GM Tom Fitzgerald an extension and a promotion. And Carter Hart surprised many by taking a vague leave of absence from the Flyers.

There have been only a few major changes to the Pittsburgh Penguins’ on-ice product over the last 18 years.

Penguins Wrap: Strong Start, Sorry Ending; What About Guentzel?
The Pittsburgh Penguins wrapped up their workweek with a 3-2 in Las Vegas that concluded in the early hours of Sunday morning back in the East. Giving up three unanswered goals to the Golden Knights in the third period had to be particularly deflating — if not galling — to the Penguins because they had played so well during the previous five periods, beginning with a 3-0 shutout against Seattle Monday.
Penguins Grades: Garbage Third Period, Pens Stars Go Bust in Vegas
LAS VEGAS — The best players of the Pittsburgh Penguins were decidedly not their best during a third-period meltdown Saturday in a 3-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena.
