What Pens GM Kyle Dubas and Mike Sullivan said about putting Tristan Jarry on waivers, plus the players discuss losing a teammate, who was a starter
The Penguins placed Tristan Jarry on waivers on the afternoon of Jan. 15. If he clears, the goaltender will be assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, and Kyle Dubas said Joel Blomqvist will receive an opportunity in Pittsburgh alongside Alex Nedeljkovic.
The Pittsburgh Penguins this week headed out for the West Coast portion of their season-long road trip with, at least at first, mixed results. A win that could serve as a template for how to play. Then a loss that left the Penguins perhaps wanting to throw away the game tape.
A source close to the Penguins has informed @TheRGMedia that Kyle Dubas is looking for a fire sale. Big name veterans, not simply just pending free agents, are up on the trade block and the Penguins are also willing to retain to move out Erik Karlsson. More on this below: https://t.co/uxHpnheLs5
Dave Pagnotta of the Fourth Period was on Sirius XM NHL Network Radio Power Play Segment with Steve Kouleas and Martin Biron and was asked if the Tristan Jarry waivers move by the Pittsburgh Penguins was a sign of things to come.
Nedeljkovic scored into an empty net at 17:18 of the third period after the Sabres pulled their goalie for an extra skater.
Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Alex Nedeljkovic made history by becoming the first netminder to record a goal and an assist in an NHL game.
Earlier on Monday, the Penguins placed second-line center Evgeni Malkin on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, and he will be out week-to-week. The team will look to get back on track against the San Jose Sharks, who own the league's lowest point total at 34.
Something to, perhaps, keep an eye on if Imama - an enforcer - is in the lineup is if the Penguins seek a bit of retribution on Seattle defenseman Adam Larsson, who took a liberty on Penguins captain Sidney Crosby away from the puck with a heavy cross-check in their last tilt.
Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas denied speculation about a fire sale, but how many of their top players could be traded?
Unfortunately for Penguins fans, a fire sale might be the best way to go. They've missed the playoffs the past two years, and this season, they're on the outside looking in. Recent moves by general manager Kyle Dubas also haven't worked out.
Yesterday though Penguins GM Kyle Dubas pushed back on D'Amico's report, flatly denying that the team is in selling mode.
