The 2023-24 NHL season has officially started. Before it gets too late, I’m going to throw my hat in the ring and attempt to predict the Pittsburgh Penguins players’ points totals, using the opening night lineup.

It's been a long offseason of questions surrounding three-time Norris winner Erik Karlsson, and now we finally have our answers.

With the 14th pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, the Pittsburgh Penguins select... from the Moose Jaw Warriors, Brayden Yager.

On Wednesday, June 21st, at 3:05 pm EST, it was announced that goaltender Tom Barrasso was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, circa 2023.

There's a new sheriff in town: Kyle Dubas. With the draft and then free agency less than a month away, Dubas will have to do a lot in only a little time.

We have reached the point in the year where the finalists for NHL awards are being released. While some awards seem to be locked down, others are still completely up for grabs. Here is what my ballot would look like if I had a vote:

For the first time since the 2005-06 season, the Pittsburgh Penguins have failed to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. However, if you want a team to root for, there are 27 former Penguins who made it to the dance with their current teams.

On Friday, April 14th, at 11:14 AM, it was announced that the Pittsburgh Penguins cleaned house, relieving General Manager Ron Hextall, Assistant General Manager Chris Pryor, and President of Hockey Operations Brian Burke of their duties.

Well, it's official. The 16 year postseason appearance streak is over. The Pittsburgh Penguins will miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2006-07 season. This marks the first time that the Penguins have missed the playoffs with Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang on their roster. So... what went wrong?

The Pittsburgh Penguins have two games remaining in their 2022-23 season, and they currently sit one point out of the playoffs. With a 16 year playoff streak on the line, the Penguins will need to win out. That alone won’t be enough to secure them a spot in the playoffs, however; they’ll still need a little help from their friends– or, in this case, rivals.
