  • Penguins' Jack St. Ivany: Returned to minors

    Pittsburgh reassigned St. Ivany to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

    St. Ivany didn't get into a game while up with the Penguins and now will head back to the minors without having made his NHL debut. At this point, the Penguins don't have a seventh blueliner on the roster, so St. Ivany could be brought back up prior to Tuesday's clash with the Devils.

  • Penguins' Jack St. Ivany: Up from minors

    St. Ivany was summoned from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Sunday, according to CapFriendly.

    St. Ivany has four goals, 12 points and 30 PIM in 52 contests with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2023-24. The 24-year-old defenseman hasn't made his NHL debut yet.

  • Penguins' Reilly Smith: Opens scoring

    Smith found the back of the net and added an assist in a 6-3 win over the Red Wings on Sunday.

    Smith opened the scoring with his 12th goal of the year and added a primary helper, both in the first period. The third-line winger also contributed a plus-2 rating and three shots on net in 14:45 of ice time. Although he hadn't scored a goal since March 5, Smith's riding a three-game point streak, with one goal and three assists over that span.

  • Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Contributes goal and assist

    Crosby scored a goal and dished an assist in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

    Crosby ended an 11-game goal drought in the first period, potting his 33rd goal of the season. He added a helper, three shots and a plus-1 rating in 19:09 of ice time. Crosby's riding a modest three-game point streak, with one goal and three assists over that span. At 36 years old, the Penguins captain is defying expectations and proving he's still an elite fantasy option. With Pittsburgh only five points out of a playoff spot, Crosby will continue to be relied upon heavily in all situations down the stretch.

  • Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Picks up win Sunday

    Nedeljkovic stopped 25 of 28 shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

    Nedeljkovic allowed a goal on only the second shot of the game, but he was solid for the remainder of the outing. The Penguins provided offensive support and kept the high-danger shots against to a minimum. This was Nedeljkovic's first win since Feb. 15, as his playing time is limited due to Tristan Jarry being the clear No. 1 netminder. Pittsburgh will face the Devils on the road Tuesday, and Jarry will likely be back between the pipes.

  • Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Starting against Detroit

    Nedeljkovic will protect the home net Sunday versus the Red Wings, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

    Nedeljkovic has gone 1-3-2 over his past nine outings, which includes two relief appearances. He has allowed 27 goals on 202 shots for an .866 save percentage during that span. In 23 contests this campaign, Nedeljkovic has a 9-6-4 record with a 2.95 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Detroit ranks seventh in the league this season with 3.39 goals per game.

  • Penguins' Jack St. Ivany: Reassigned Saturday

    St. Ivany was sent down to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

    St. Ivany didn't play Saturday versus the Rangers. The Penguins have been rotating through depth defensemen lately with Ryan Shea also in the mix for call-ups, but they haven't been able to crack the lineup.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Two-point effort in loss

    Rust scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.

    Rust beat Jonathan Quick midway through the first period before helping to set up a Lars Eller tally in the second stanza. The 31-year-old Rust has two goals and three points in four games since coming off IR, and Saturday's goal was his 20th of the season -- the fifth straight campaign in which he has reached that mark.

  • Penguins' Lars Eller: Two points against Rangers

    Eller scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.

    The 34-year-old center's tally almost exactly midway through the second period tied the game at 3-3, but New York dominated the second half of the contest. Eller was on the Penguins' top power-play unit Saturday and led the team with six shots on net, but his offensive contributions remain inconsistent. He's been held off the scoresheet in six of nine March games, producing just two goals and four points on the month so far.

  • Penguins' Alex Nedeljkovic: Needed in relief Saturday

    Nedeljkovic stopped all four shots he faced after replacing Tristan Jarry early in the third period of Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.

    The game had already slipped away from Pittsburgh when Nedeljkovic came in, but he at least didn't let things get any worse. The 28-year-old netminder has only gotten two starts in nine March games, but he's entered two contests in relief. His .817 save percentage in those outings doesn't make a strong case for a bigger role, but with Jarry also struggling and the Penguins' playoff hopes fading, Nedeljkovic might see an uptick in his workload.

  • Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Gets hook in Saturday's loss

    Jarry turned aside 17 of 23 shots before being replaced by Alex Nedeljkovic early in the third period of Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.

    New York took control of the game late in the second period with two power-play tallies in just over a minute, and Jarry got the hook after a K'Andre Miller goal made it 6-3 in the third. Jarry has just two wins over his last eight starts, going 2-5-1 with an .884 save percentage as the Penguins' playoff hopes dwindle.

  • Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Facing Rangers

    Jarry will be in the home crease versus the Rangers on Saturday.

    Jarry has started the last three games, allowing nine goals on 113 shots (.920 save percentage) while going 1-1-1. Jarry is tied for the NHL lead in shutouts with six and is 19-21-5 with a 2.70 GAA and a .909 save percentage. The Rangers rank 10th in the league this campaign with 3.27 goals per contest.

  • Penguins' Ryan Shea: Shipped back to minors

    Shea was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.

    Shea will trade places with Jack St. Ivany, who was called up in a corresponding move. In 22 NHL appearances this season, the 27-year-old Shea has tallied 13 shots, 16 hits and six PIM but has yet to register an NHL point.

  • Penguins' Jack St. Ivany: Summoned from AHL

    St. Ivany was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.

    The defenseman will replace Ryan Shea, who was sent to the Baby Pens in a corresponding move. St. Ivany had four goals and eight assists in 52 AHL games before his recall.

  • Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Tallies in win

    Rakell scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

    Rakell extended Pittsburgh's lead to 5-3 early in the third period, deflecting a John Ludvig shot past Magnus Chrona to snap a four-game scoring drought. The 30-year-old Rakell came into the contest with just one goal and two points in his previous eight games, though he should continue to see time in the Pens' top six following Jake Guentzel's trade to Carolina. Rakell is up to 10 goals and 18 points in 53 games this season after tallying 60 points in the 2022-23 campaign.

  • Penguins' Noel Acciari: Scores Thursday

    Acciari scored a goal on his only shot in Thursday's 6-3 win over San Jose.

    Acciari opened the scoring midway through the first period, deflecting an Erik Karlsson shot past Magnus Chrona. It's the first goal since Dec. 31 for Acciari and just his second point in his last 22 games. The 32-year-old center now has four goals and six points through 50 games in a fourth-line role with Pittsburgh this season.
