Practice report: Penguins rank among NHL's most stingy teams

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The legacy and lore of this franchise are built on offense.

You can find testimony to the Penguins' 15 NHL scoring championships hanging in the rafters at PPG Paints Arena, but not a single banner honoring a Selke or Vezina trophy recipient, and with good reason.

The Penguins haven't had anyone win either of those.

They probably won't have one this season, either, but for a change, their regular-season success looks to be due more to their proficiency at preventing goals than producing them.

The Penguins enter their game against the Canadiens Tuesday at 7:08 p.
