Penguins Getting Hot; Nedeljkovic Stuffs Islanders for 3-1 Win
The Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders met just four days ago, though the game left a sour taste with New York as the Penguins decimated the Islanders 7-0 at UBS Arena.

Dan’s Daily: ‘Very High’ Price for Goalie Trades; Penguins Starting to Roll
Despite not playing their best hockey, the Pittsburgh Penguins played winning hockey and beat the St. Louis Blues Saturday night, closing to within just two points of a playoff spot. The goaltending collapse in Toronto is creating quite a stir on the NHL trade market because there are a handful of buyers, a handful of sellers, and a couple of maybes in both camps. However, the price tags of some goalies are “very high,” according to Elliotte Friedman. The Toronto struggles hurt the Penguins Saturday when Carolina snatched a win, while the Boston Bruins helped the Penguins by beating the New Jersey Devils.

Penguins Notebook: Goalie Envy; Carter, Rust & Difference Makers
The National Hockey League is bereft of quality goaltenders. It seems those who have one, have several. Those who are missing one, have none.

Dan’s Daily: Maple Leafs Meltdown, Devils Surge, Penguins Injury Updates
Time or fate has a funny way of upending what everyone thought they knew. The Pittsburgh Penguins goalie situation is now the envy of many while several good teams are scrambling to find someone, anyone, who can stop the puck. The Toronto Maple Leafs are the latest team to suffer a goalie meltdown, and it’s costing them games. The New Jersey Devils hoped for a spark by recalling their AHL goalie and got it. The latest updates on the Penguins’ injuries, including Bryan Rust’s, were quite positive, and Evgeni Malkin held court in the Penguins’ locker room.

Jesse Puljujarvi, who is on a free-agent tryout deal that has gone past the 10-day team-sponsored limit, also did not wear a non-contact jersey.
Sullivan Reflects on Penguins Hiring: ‘I Was Scared to Death’
Maybe it seems like a long time ago or just yesterday that Mike Sullivan took over as coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins. It’s been just a little more than eight years. He recounted Thursday what it felt like in December 2015 to take the reins of a club that had future Hall of Famers and a ton of potential.
Dan’s Daily: Fleury Ready for Milestones; Penguins’ Competition Ready to Sell?
Former Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is on the cusp of a couple of historic milestones, including becoming the second-winningest goalie of all time and perhaps the last goalie who will get to 1000 games played. The Penguins have the three best friends that anyone could have, while their playoff competition contemplates becoming sellers before the NHL trade deadline. Tage Thompson is on the non-roster list, but there’s some drama around the Buffalo Sabres roster, and defenseman Ethan Bear finally signed with the Capitals.

Lots of big things happened Wednesday in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 7-0 romp over the New York Islanders. There were records and milestones, especially for core players Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin.

Now is Penguins Big Chance; Here’s Why
