It is the worst case scenario, but it is also the one that played out last spring. Marc-Andre Fleury struggles early in the playoffs. Does Pittsburgh have a goalie who can replace him while realistically keeping the Penguins Stanley Cup hopes alive?

If the answer is Jeff Zatkoff, then that answer is no.

Penguins return with loss To Canadiens
There was no Olympic hangover for the five Pittsburgh participants on Thursday, just from every other Penguin. Sidney Crosby, Olli Maatta, Evgeni Malkin and Jussi Jokinen combined for seven points as the Penguins fell to the Canadiens 6-5 in a shootout.

A rusty Penguins squad surrendered the first goal of the game to Brendan Gallagher after a scramble in front of Marc-Andre Fleury.

Penguins sloppy in loss to Rangers
The Olympic break for NHL players may not officially start until Sunday, but the Penguins decided to take theirs a bit early. New York scored in the first minute of the game and never looked back as they launched 41 shots to hold the Penguins off 4-3 in a shootout Friday night.

New York wasted little time getting to Marc-Andre Fleury. Benoit Pouliot crashed the net just a minute into the game and jammed home a Mats Zuccarello rebound to put the Rangers up 1-0 early.

Penguins roll past Sabres 5-1
Buffalo Sabers interim head coach Ted Nolan said his team respected the Penguins too much in their 3-0 on January 27, and he would not make the same mistake again. After tonight’s game, maybe Nolan’s Sabres should respect them just a bit more.

The Penguins blew past the last-place Sabers in Buffalo 5-1, with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin both recording a goal and an assist and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury turning away 24-25 shots.

Neal, Penguins Top Senators
Not even Craig Anderson's 47 saves could push the Ottawa Senators past the Penguins Monday night. Brian Gibbons scored the first power play goal of his career and James Neal ended it in overtime to lead Pittsburgh to victory.

Stephane Da Costa kicked off an uninspiring first period with just five minutes remaining in the frame.

Let The Games Begin
Olympic hockey is the greatest display of skill in the entire Winter Games. With a pool of participants unmatched in depth by any other event, the ice hockey competition undoubtedly displays the top athletes not just in their sport, but in any sport featured during the two week period.

There is no better hockey tournament in the world, but soon, the best players on earth may no longer be a part of it.

Pens fall to Coyotes 3-1
Evgeni Malkin scored the lone goal and the Penguins lost to the Phoenix Coyotes 3-1 Saturday night in Glendale, Arizona.

A mother’s love wasn’t enough to push the Pens past the Coyotes, as turnovers and lack of execution lead to a 3-1 loss.
