Sidney Crosby registered a goal and an assist, and the Pittsburgh Penguins have put together their first three-game winning streak in over a month after a 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens.

Penguins center Jordan Staal scored as many goals in the Stanley Cup Final as goalie Marc-Andre Fleury surrendered over the final two games.

Coach Dan Bylsma said Crosby was given a "maintenance day." He is expected to play tonight at Atlanta.

The 800-game mark will only come along once in Chris Phillips' career. Scoring two goals in the same game has arrived with only slightly more frequency for the Ottawa Senators defenceman.

An NHL general manager says Peter Forsberg is going to stay in Sweden this season.

Jordan Staal, despite his youth, finds himself the most celebrated No. 11 on the Penguins' list.

The Penguins beleaguered power play finally scored and a host of young defenseman acquitted themselves fairly well in a 5-2 victory over Anaheim tonight at Mellon Arena.

The Pittsburgh Penguins ended a four-game losing streak in dramatic fashion last night, scoring with just fractions of a second remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime.

Pascal Dupuis scored his second goal of the game 1:24 into overtime and the Pittsburgh Penguins welcomed back star forward Evgeni Malkin by snapping their four-game losing streak with a 6-5 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night.

Ryan Whitney was Pittsburgh's second-best puck-moving defenseman behind Sergei Gonchar last season.

Their expectations are so high that a loss like this one will really stick. That is the reality of life for the Penguins , who were stunned by a four-goal flurry from the Los Angeles Kings in just over 11 third-period minutes Thursday night, leading to a 5-2 defeat at Staples Center.

The Pittsburgh Penguins will try to bounce back from their first road loss of the season when they visit the San Jose Sharks for tonight's battle between first-place teams at HP Pavilion.

Center Evgeni Malkin is the only Penguins player not skating. Coach Dan Bylsma said Malkin's recovery from a shoulder strain is "progressing in rehab, and the important part is the rest part of it," Bylsma said.

Anze Kopitar scored two goals, as the Los Angeles Kings tallied four times in the third period to post a 5-2 win over the Penguins, sending Pittsburgh to its first loss in eight road games this season.

Hours before appearing in his 1,200th NHL game, Penguins winger Bill Guerin's thoughts were with his contribution to USA Hockey's golden era.

Right winger Tyler Kennedy , who has missed the Penguins' past three games with an undisclosed injury, took part in his first full practice with the team yesterday at Anaheim Ice and could return to the lineup as soon as tonight against the Ducks at Honda Center.

The Penguins casualty list isn't pretty. Reading off the names, it almost becomes painful.

A commonly held hockey truth is that over the course of six regular-season months, even the best NHL club will drop a handful of games they have no business losing.

Jordan Staal has three goals and two assists this season while appearing in -- naturally -- every game.
