Prior to the Penguins' full team practice, injured forwards Evgeni Malkin, Blake Lizotte, and Filip Hallander all skated together on the main rink at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry, Pa. They didn't join the team practice, but it is still a sight for sore eyes and signals that they are at least progressing toward a return.

The Penguins have been going through a rough stretch, to say the least. But Kyle Dubas is taking a bigger-picture view of the whole situation, and it goes back to the expectations outlined in training camp.

Stuart Skinner made his Penguins debut in an emotional matchup against his former team, as Pittsburgh fell to Edmonton Oilers.

The Naples billionaire, who owns Hertz Arena and the ECHL Florida Everblades, has long talked about wanting to own an NBA or NHL franchise.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are likely not done making moves in the trade market just yet. Pittsburgh recently sent Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers to acquire fellow goalie Stuart Skinner. The deal, however, also included the Penguins getting defenseman Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl put on a show as the Edmonton Oilers waltzed their way to a 6-4 victory at PPG Paints Arena. Draisaitl finished with four assists, the first one producing the 1,000th point of his career.

They blew out the Philadelphia Flyers 5-1 on Dec. 1, held on for dear life to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-3 on Dec. 4, and earned a point against the Dallas Stars on Dec. 7. They would've swept the trip if they had survived a 6-on-5 at the end of the third period against the Stars. In the end, they lost that game in a shootout.
