Penguins Practice: Injury Updates, Brazeau Closer, and a Candy Question
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
CRANBERRY TWP. Pa. — The final question Sunday for Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Muse came from an unlikely source.
Sunday, the Penguins had a family skate after practice, and numerous children of players and staff rolled through the dressing room in full Halloween costumes to Trick-or-treat as players passed out candy, or simply gobbled up the chocolates from the provided buckets themselves.

from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
Often forgotten among the Pittsburgh Penguins’ battle to insert youth into their lineup is second-year goalie Arturs Silovs .
Silovs, 26, was among the dozen rookies who cycled through the Penguins lineup last season, and he had a typical rookie season with streaks of success but also extended periods of struggle, especially deeper into the season.

Pittsburgh Penguins' Slow Start Could Signal A Trade Is Coming — But Not One That Will Help Them This Year
from The Hockey News, by Adam Proteau,
With losses mounting, Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas is at a crossroads: he can try and get the team into one last playoff spot or start selling off pieces for the future. The latter approach might be painful to watch, but it's the right move for an aging team.
Penguins Q&A: The Trade Talk
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
Anger. The primary emotion from the team and fans on Saturday was the same basic human reflex, but in a far different context after the Pittsburgh Penguins again face-planted Friday, this time against the Colorado Avalanche.
Updated: Penguins Demote Johnson, Recall D
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
In moves announced hours apart Sunday, the Pittsburgh Penguins assigned spare defenseman Ryan Johnson to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, then recalled defenseman Ilya Solovyov from WBS.
The Johnson move opened a roster spot but the team didn’t fill it until later in the day. Adding to the curious timing of the moves, Penguins left-handed defenseman Sam Girard was injured in the second period Saturday in the team’s 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights and did not return.
Penguins Demote Johnson but No Other Move

In a curious move Sunday, the Pittsburgh Penguins assigned spare defenseman Ryan Johnson to the Wiles-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
And in the process, the team opened a roster spot but did not immediately fill it. Adding the curious timing of the move, Penguins left-handed defenseman Sam Girard was injured in the second period Saturday in the team’s 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights and did not return.

Penguins Grades: No More Patience, Calling Out Problems
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
The previous owners of the Penguins turned a cute phrase when they hired general manager Kyle Dubas, saying they were patiently impatient. It was merely a publicly pushed platitude by billionaires, but for this Penguins team, there can be no more patience or excuses that the season is early.
Report: Penguins Ready to Trade Veterans
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
The Pittsburgh Penguins could look quite different sooner rather than later. On Hockey Night in Canada Saturday, Sportsnet reporter Elliotte Friedman reported that the Penguins’ general manager is ready to make the franchise-altering move to trade veteran players in exchange for future assets.
Penguins Injury Update: Chinakhov Out, Others Rehabbing in Pgh
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
LAS VEGAS — The Pittsburgh Penguins perhaps caught a little break Saturday as the injury to Egor Chinakhov is merely day-to-day, despite the player being seen limping around Ball Arena Friday.
According to coach Dan Mus e, Chinakhov is out day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will not play Saturday against the Vegas Golden Knights. This season, the 26-year-old winger has one goal and one assist in seven games played. He sustained the injury in practice Thursday.

Penguins Practice: Power Play, MORE Power Play, & More Changes
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
CHICAGO — The Pittsburgh Penguins’ power play has been ineffective since a hot streak in the first couple of games tallied four man-advantage markers.
The Penguins were a dangerous 4-for-8 in the first two games, not coincidentally, wins. They are 0-for-16 since. And not coincidentally, they’re 1-3-1 in that time.

Kingerski: There’s Something Wrong with the Penguins
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
Defensive defensemen are getting burned, both with bad pinches and in the defensive zone. There are multiple lines with no chemistry and little production. And a team that isn’t ready to play. But the combined problems seem to point to something larger, and fundamentally wrong with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

After a few games that were at best bad and at worst unacceptable, Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Muse made a couple of lineup adjustments.

Penguins Explain Hallander-Stastney Trade; Another Move Coming
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Pittsburgh Penguins cleared up the logjam at the forward position, at least temporarily, Wednesday when they traded Filip Hallander to the Edmonton Oilers for lefty defenseman Spencer Stastney.
The Penguins were not bound to make a move because the NHL granted winger Andrei Kuzmenko non-roster status while he deals with the death of his father and catches up after missing preseason. But had they not made a move, one was due soon as the team activated Bryan Rust Wednesday afternoon.
Oilers swing deal for forward Hallander, sending Stastney to Penguins
from The Globe and Mail — Hockey,
The Edmonton Oilers acquired centre Filip Hallander from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday in exchange for defenceman Spencer Stastney.
The move comes as the Oilers deal with injuries to several forwards, including Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman, Matthew Savoie, Jason Dickinson and Mattias Janmark.

PENGUINS TRADE: Hallander to EDM; NHL Grants Kuzmenko Non-Roster Status
from Pittsburgh Hockey Now, by Dan Kingerski,
Rather than the nearly impossible choice of which forward to sacrifice to make room for Bryan Rust, the Penguins found some humanity from the NHL, which granted forward Andrei Kuzmenko non-roster status. That move was made before the trade, but the decision would have loomed regardless.
