The Penguins concluded their home-and-home set with the Maple Leafs last night. Evgeni Malkin returned to the lineup after dealing with illness in the last game. Not even the return of the big Russian could spark the Penguins offense, as the team was shut out 4-0. [Recap]
Jim Rutherford was makin’ moves yesterday, albeit it was a minor-league trade. The Penguins sent Joseph Blandisi and Jake Lucchini to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Riley Barber and Phil Varone. [Pensburgh]
While Teddy Blueger is busy saving the world (thanks to Evan Scott Huber here), his value is also growing with the Penguins.
