DENVER — Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was encouraged by much of the Pittsburgh Penguins game Tuesday. So, too, was coach Mike Sullivan who had little to criticize as his team outplayed Stanley Cup contender Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena.

Hoping to rally a late playoff push under Sidney Crosby's magic, Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan announced a pivotal goaltender decision.

The intrigue deepened Thursday morning as the TSN insiders cast the Pittsburgh Penguins trade involving Luke Schenn as a potentially temporary relationship.

From Mario Lemieux to Jaromir Jagr, and Crosby to Malkin, the Penguins’ stars loved Lange. His voice was a prominent soundtrack of their careers. Lange would often bellow “Make me a milkshake, Malkin” when the Russian star would score a goal. Malkin loved it.

Pittsburgh president Kyle Dubas wanted to make his moves before Friday’s NHL trade deadline because his Penguins play that night in Las Vegas. He’s off to a decent start. The Penguins made a move Wednesday night by sending winger Michael Bunting and a 2026 fourth-round draft pick to the Nashville Predators,
