Malkin scores 3 goals in semifinal for Russia
Russia's Evgeni Malkin scored three goals to lead his team to a 6-2 win Saturday over Finland in the semifinal of the World Championships. The 25-year-old forward and regular-season scoring king for Pittsburgh Penguins this season scored twice in the first period against reigning world champion Finland and completed a ...
NHL questions: Can the Rangers go all the way?
The NHL's conference finals opened over the weekend without some of the top teams and big stars that highlighted the regular season. Long gone are Pittsburgh's powerful point producers — Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby. With them went the Presidents' Trophy winners, the Vancouver Canucks, the No. 1 seed in ...
Brodeur hopes for Game 4 win as 40th birthday gift
On the eve of his 40th birthday, New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur isn't expecting the Philadelphia Flyers to show up bearing gifts for Game 4. The Flyers can't afford the gesture at this point in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal. They trail 2-1 heading into Sunday's game at the ...
Devils keep pounding away at Flyers before Game 4
Scott Hartnell would never have been so bold as to expect the Philadelphia Flyers to sweep the New Jersey Devils. But the All-Star forward is perfectly blunt about the state of the Flyers heading into Game 4 on Sunday. Trailing 2-1 in the Eastern Conference series is unacceptable. "I don't ...
Old men Jagr, Brodeur renew rivalry
Jaromir Jagr's long hair that once flowed beneath his helmet is much shorter now, and his playoff beard has plenty of gray in it. Like the man he'll be shooting pucks at in the next round of the playoffs, Jagr is the old man in the dressing room these days. ...
Demolition of old Penguins arena 'moots' appeal
A three-judge federal appeals court panel has dismissed a historic preservation group's lawsuit to save the former home of the Pittsburgh Penguins saying the fact that the arena is nearly demolished makes the appeal moot. In September, a federal judge denied Preservation Pittsburgh's request for a court order to stop ...

Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers, center Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins and center Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning are the finalists for the Hart Trophy for the NHL's most valuable player in the regular season. The winner will be announced June 20 at the ...
Flyers rest, wait as playoffs go on without them
Let the other Eastern Conference playoff teams body check, elbow, trip and rough each other up for seven games. The Philadelphia Flyers are pleased to rest and recover until they find out who they play in the second round. The NHL sent a release Wednesday touting, "Playoff Excitement Peaks With ...
Penguins have plenty to do during long offseason
Ray Shero doesn't believe the Pittsburgh Penguins need to blow things up. The general manager, however, understands things certainly need to be tweaked after another early playoff exit. The tweaks will not include a coaching change or — at least for now — parting ways with one of its young ...
Flyers' rookies up to the challenge
Some of the biggest contributors for the Philadelphia Flyers in their first-round win over Pittsburgh were players too young to really grow those scraggly playoff beards. Sean Couturier was only 16 when Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin led the Penguins to a Stanley Cup victory in 2009. Just last spring, ...
Erratic Bryzgalov key to Flyers' Round 2 hopes
Claude Giroux can tell in warmups when goalie Ilya Bryzgalov is going to play a strong game. But don't expect the All-Star forward to spill his secrets. "I can't tell you that," Giroux said, smiling. Whatever the indicator is, that the Philadelphia Flyers goalie will play his "A" game instead ...
Early playoff exit leaves Penguins humbled
The Pittsburgh Penguins never stopped believing they could beat the Philadelphia Flyers. Not when the Flyers won the first three games of their Eastern Conference quarterfinals series. Not when the Flyers raced to a quick lead in Game 4. Not even in the waning moments of Game 6, when an ...
Flyers beat Penguins 5-1 to win series in 6 games
Claude Giroux had his coach call him the best player in the world. Giroux needed one shift to prove that claim is more than hometown hype. He flattened Sidney Crosby only 5 seconds into the game, buried his sixth goal of the series past Marc-Andre Fleury 27 seconds later, and ...
