Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning\u2026<\/p>\n
The Pittsburgh Penguins shipped up to Boston on Tuesday night. The Penguins fell 2-1 to the B\u2019s after taking an early lead from an Erik Karlsson goal but surrendering two fast first-period goals, and despite late pressure, they couldn\u2019t find the equalizer. Next up is Buffalo on Thursday night. [Recap<\/a>]<\/p>\n Most Penguins fans would likely agree that their team has sort of flown under the radar for much of the 2025-26 season, and many national pundits have seemed surprised at Pittsburgh\u2019s success thus far, despite strong statistical outputs and elevated play. Why is that? Perhaps because of originally low preseason expectations and a recent lack of playoff success. [PensBurgh<\/a>]<\/p>\n News and updates from around the NHL\u2026<\/p>\n The NHL is closing in on naming a host city for the 2028 World Cup of Hockey, but commissioner Gary Bettman said Tuesday that a decision isn\u2019t ready yet and could come in the next few weeks as the league reviews submitted bids. [Sportsnet<\/a>]<\/p>\n The Buffalo Sabres are buyers?! It appears so. Talks are rapidly progressing between the Sabres and St. Louis Blues involving forward Robert Thomas, according to a report from NHL insider Darren Dreger. [TSN<\/a>]<\/p>\n Vancouver Canucks forward Jake DeBrusk, who is signed through the 2030-31 season at a cap hit of $5.5 million, said he isn\u2019t comfortable being part of the team\u2019s rebuild. While there have been no reported interested buyers, he and a few other Canuck players are names to watch ahead of Friday\u2019s trade deadline.
