Given the team’s glut of elite blue liners, it was also generally accepted that any deadline deals GM Ray Shero made this season would involve the purging of several talented young defensemen from...

Daniel Alfredsson tied the game with 29 seconds in regulation and Colin Greening scored the game-winner 7:39 into the second overtime as the Senators beat the Penguins 2-1 to pull within a game of Pittsburgh in a classic Game 3 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa.

Ottawa came out active, looking to jump out to an early lead in what was essentially a must-win game, but the Penguins maintained the intensity that has defined their offensive effort in the...

Sidney Crosby has joined Mario Lemieux in the record books again. The Penguin captain scored three goals in a 4-3 win over the Senators to join Lemieux as the only players in franchise history who have recorded multiple playoff hat tricks in Penguins uniform.

A perfect penalty kill, flawless powerplay and hot goaltender. Pittsburgh dominated Ottawa start to finish thanks to special teams tonight. Four different players scored and Tomas Vokoun stopped 35 shots as the Penguins jumped out to a 1-0 series lead over the Senators.

The playoffs second leading scorer, Evgeni Malkin, highlighted period one for the home team.

Mario Lemieux and Evgeni Malkin both won it. Other great Penguins like Tom Barrasso and Bryan Trottier also hoisted it. No, it’s not the Stanley Cup; it’s the Calder Trophy for the NHL’s most outstanding first year player.

After closing out their first-round series against the eighth-seeded Islanders, the top-seeded Penguins are taking some admittedly well-deserved heat.

They often didn’t match the Islanders effort.

Paul Martin tied the game in the third period and Brooks Orpik won it in overtime as the Penguins finished off a young and talented New York Islanders squad in six games, winning 4-3, to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The Penguins advance to face the Ottawa Senators in the second round.

Dan Bylsma pushed all the right buttons. New lineup additions Tomas Vokoun and Tyler Kennedy starred in the Penguins 4-0 win over the New York Islanders Thursday night to give Pittsburgh a 3-2 series lead.

Not since the third period of game one had the Penguins and Islanders skated a scoreless period, but the opening frame of game five was just that.

Following the Steelers’ draft haul last month, there was considerable talk about how the team deviated from their tried and true ways, stepping boldly into the new era of the NFL by embracing change and living—and drafting—for the now.

You can’t divide the Major League Baseball season into four whole parts—162 divided by four comes out to 40.5—but after last night’s game against Milwaukee, the Pittsburgh Pirates officially rounded the quarter turn of their 2013 season. The report out of PNC Park: so far, so good—but there’s a long way to go.

The Pitt baseball team entered May in the midst of one of the best seasons in program history, chasing a Big East title and a berth in the College World Series. It's hard to imagine a better way for the Panthers to enter the ACC.
