Pittsburgh Penguins Tickets

Detroit's offense is a work in progress now that Brendan Shanahan has moved on and Steve Yzerman has retired. With a healthy Dominik Hasek in net and Nicklas Lidstrom along the blue line, there's nothing wrong with the Red Wings' defense. Lidstrom and Detroit's blanketing defense held Pittsburgh to 13 shots, Johan Franzen scored the pivotal goal off a rebound in the first period and the Red Wings...

The No. 1 draft pick was all he was supposed to be for the Pittsburgh Penguins in a dominating performance that gave promise this season won't be like all those bad ones gone by.

Mario Lemieux's No. 66 jersey banner was raised again to the Mellon Arena ceiling Thursday, nine months after the Hall of Fame center retired from the Pittsburgh Penguins for the second time.

Alex Ovechkin grabbed a golf club for the first time in his life at the Washington Capitals' preseason charity tournament. After a few minutes of instruction, he began hitting. Well, shanking, really. Plop, into the water. Thwack, off the cart path. Then Ovechkin asked for "a bigger club." His very next shot settled on the green.

Jordan Staal and Kristopher Letang made the Pittsburgh Penguins' opening day roster Monday, joining with Sidney Crosby to give the rebuilding team a franchise-first three teens on the roster. With Evgeni Malkin added in once he recovers from a dislocated shoulder -- he turned 20 slightly more than two months ago -- the Penguins may have their youngest roster in their 40-season history as they try...

John LeClair scored a power-play goal with 4:30 to play and Jocelyn Thibault made 18 saves to help the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in exhibition play Sunday night at John Labatt Centre.

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - Pittsburgh Penguins rookie Evgeni Malkin will be sidelined indefinitely with a dislocated left shoulder, the team announced Monday.

Sidney Crosby's return home didn't go as well as planned. In a building where he was often jeered as a junior, the 19-year-old phenom was cheered Tuesday night and treated like a forgiven hero. Crosby, who grew up mere miles from the Halifax Metro Centre, had a goal and assist in his first pro game in his hometown, but the Pittsburgh Penguins lost their preseason opener 5-2 to the Ottawa Senators.
