Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning…<\/p>\n
The Pittsburgh Penguins welcomed the Philadelphia Flyers to Pittsburgh on Thursday for a rather meaningful Metropolitan Division clash. Two minutes into the game, the Penguins claimed a 1-0 lead via a Justin Brazeau tally and never looked back. Sidney Crosby recorded another goal and assist, as Pittsburgh earned an easy 6-3 win. [Recap<\/a>]<\/p>\n Heading into Thursday night\u2019s game, rookie forward Ben Kindel hadn\u2019t recorded a goal in 14 games. That\u2019s a noticeably long drought for someone who has been one of Pittsburgh\u2019s better players to this point in the season, but it\u2019s important to remember that, for an 18-year-old rookie, a drought like this is quite common. [PensBurgh<\/a>]<\/p>\n Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton Penguins forward Tristan Broz and goaltender Sergei Murashov were selected for the American Hockey League\u2019s All-Star Classic event. [Trib Live<\/a>]<\/p>\n News and notes from around the NHL\u2026<\/p>\n As of Thursday afternoon, the New York Rangers were sitting dead last in the Eastern Conference, with many wondering if they will shape up to be sellers by the March 6 trading deadline. If they continue to sit well out of contention, how will that affect Artemi Panarin\u2019s future in the Big Apple with unrestricted free agency looming? [TSN<\/a>]<\/p>\n I guess the media dubbed Thursday\u2019s game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vegas Golden Knights the Mitch Marner Bowl, with this being Marner\u2019s first game against his boyhood squad after leaving in a trade that signaled the end of the \u201cCore Four\u201d era.
