Pascal Dupuis scored the only goal for Pittsburgh, and the Penguins struggled on offense without their captain for their second game in a row.

The Other Guy
His agent didn’t contact him before the trade deadline. His coach never called him and his general manager didn’t text him. It was a broadcaster who broke the news to the Atlanta Thrashers winger.

Dupuis stars as Pens extend streak
Lost somewhere in the shuffle of signing Jarome Iginla was the fact that Pittsburgh entered the night one victory shy of the third longest win streak in NHL history. And while there was no Iginla, Marc-Andre Fleury or Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin did make his return for the Penguins after missing the last nine games.

The reigning scoring champion didn’t need much time to make an impact.

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.
