If they don't slow down Pittsburgh's potent power play, they'll have a difficult time against Sidney Crosby and the rest of the Penguins. Paul Martin and Chris Kunitz scored power-play goals and Pascal Dupuis added his sixth goal of t...

(AP) — Brooks Orpik's goal would have been memorable even if wasn't in overtime and didn't put the Pittsburgh Penguins into the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. When you are a defensive-minded defenseman with only 12 goals in nine NHL seasons, they all tend to stand out. Orpik fired a slap shot from the left point that hit the bac...

Broken jaw or no broken jaw, the Pittsburgh Penguins' captain had only one destination in mind. It hardly mattered three Islanders — defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky and Thomas Hickey and goaltender Evgeni Nabokov — were...

Tyler Kennedy wondered if he'd ever get the chance again. That's never an issue for Sidney Crosby, who followed the lead of his decidedly less-heralded teammates to establish a bit of order to the Pittsburgh Penguins' first-round series with the New York Islanders. ...

Still, that didn't stop Bylsma from making a switch he hopes will shift momentum in Pittsburgh's highly entertaining but slightly bewildering fi...

(AP) — Leads aren't safe in the wild first-round playoff matchup between the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh. Suddenly, neither are the top-seeded Penguins. Through four games of the best-of-seven series, both teams have two wins. The latest big momentum shift has swung sharply in the direction of the No. 8 Islanders. John Tavares scored...

(AP) — The New York Islanders' rallying cry in their return to the postseason for the first time in six years is "Believe." Even the most ardent of supporters might find that optimism difficult following a deflating home loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Buoyed by a split of the first two games of the first-round series in Pittsburgh, the I...

(AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins bounced back from their home disappointment and dished out their fair share to the suddenly shocked New York Islanders. All it took was Sidney Crosby and a very powerful power play to do the trick. Chris Kunitz scored his second man-advantage goal of the game 8:44 into overtime, off the third assist of the da...

Instead, the Islanders welcomed the return of the NHL's best player by issuing a reminder to Crosby and the rest of Pittsburgh's star-studded roster: it takes more than bold-faced names to surviv...

He gave the Pittsburgh Penguins an early two-goal lead over the New York Islanders on Friday night. Then the Islanders responded, doing something they hadn't managed in six years: win a playoff game. Kyle Okposo provided ...

The Penguins' star says he will play Friday night in Game 2 of the playoff series with the New York Islanders after missing more than a month with a broken jaw. Crosby skated with usual linemates Pascal Dupuis and Chris Kuntiz on Friday morning and expects to be in the lineup as Pittsburgh tries to go up 2...

He never thought it would disappear entirely. The Penguins held the NHL's third-leading goal scorer without a shot during their remarkab...

So did the enforcer. The Norris Trophy-candidate defenseman too. And the underrated forward in the midst of a career season did it twice. Not bad for a team missing arguably the best player on the planet. The Pittsburgh Penguins crushed the New York Islanders 5-0 in their playoff opener on Wednesday night, looking very...

Still, the Penguins managed to overcome the injury...
