The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins lost to the Bridgeport Islanders, 5-1, on Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. December is a massively important month for the Penguins, and luckily they have plenty of home ice to work with. The Penguins are set to hit the road for their next game, but they still have plenty of home game to finish out the calendar year. Those wins not only improved the Penguins’ home record to 7-3-2, but also helped push them up the rankings. The Bank of Japan unsettled markets by raising its cap on bond yields, but this policy has still proven more successful than many of the experiments attempted by central banks since 2008. An Italian judge has handed down jail sentences totalling 80 years to 39 people for diverting a Good Friday religious procession to the house of a Mafia family and paying homage to an imprisoned crime boss.
Zucker, who had been out since Dec. 12, will skate alongside Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust in his return Tuesday. He has produced six goals and 20 points in 27 appearances this campaign. The 23-year-old forward has been seeing fourth-line minutes lately -- if he can't play Thursday against the Hurricanes, Drew O'Connor or Josh Archibald would be options to replace him in the lineup. Left Tuesday's game versus the Rangers with an upper-body injury, Taylor Haase of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. Pittsburgh will face each Metropolitan Division opponent four times (two home/two road), each Western Conference opponent twice (one home/one road), and each Atlantic Division opponent three times.

Penguins' Ryan Poehling: Sustains upper-body injury
PITTSBURGH — Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust each scored a power-play goal as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Tuesday night to stop their seven-game winning streak. Offensively, forward Lilly Ritz ranks second in the Horizon League in scoring (18.1 per game), and she is first in rebounding (10.0 per game), field-goal percentage (.620) and double-doubles . Guard Malia Magestro is averaging 16.8 points per game during the Penguins' five-game winning streak, and she and Megan Callahan have each made a 3-pointer in seven straight contests. On the board in the second period, beating Igor Shesterkin with a wrist shot through traffic to even the score 1-1.

When YSU returns, it will be nothing but Horizon League games on the schedule until the end of February. The Penguins will be without points leader Filip Hallander as he was called up to Pittsburgh on Monday. Hallander has tallied 4 goals and 5 assists through 10 games with the WBS Penguins. Will take on the Hershey Bears for the fourth time this season and second at Mohegan Sun Arena. The Penguins look to get back into the win column as they start a stint of seven games in 12 days. He spent the final five seasons of his playing career back where it started in NEPA, service as team captain once again from 2013 until his retirement in 2018.
On Monday, the NHL announced four additional Devils players were added to the league’s covid-19 protocol-related absence list. They join the six Devils players already on that list prior to Monday. Hartford has converted on the power play 14.3% and killed 70% of penalties on the road.
Suffered a lower-body injury that kept him out of practice Monday, Pens Inside Scoop reports. Danton Heinen continues to fill Zucker's role on the second line with Evgeni Malkin, though Kasperi Kapanen or Ryan Poehling could also be candidates to jump up the depth chart while Zucker is out. Coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "He participated today. We'll see how he responds. His status hasn't changed at this point, but obviously it's a great first step," per Pens Inside Scoop.
This is the second straight year that the Penguins are hosting the Chick-fil-A School Field Trip Game on the date, and YSU beat Point Park in 2021. The Penguins have won 22 of their last 24 home games against non-conference opponents in the regular season. Youngstown State will conclude its non-conference schedule by hosting Mount Vernon Nazarene for the Ninth Annual Chick-fil-A School Field Trip Game on Wednesday. Tipoff at Beeghly Center is set for 11 a.m., and the game will be broadcast live on 1390 WNIO and ESPN+.
While the core of the roster is familiar, the target on the Penguins' back is not. For the first time in program history, Youngstown State was picked as the preseason favorite to win the Horizon League by the conference's coaches. YSU leads the Horizon League in field-goal percentage (.441), assists (16.8 per game), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.14) and rebounding margin (+7.4). The Penguins are also second in scoring defense and third in field-goal percentage defense. Malkin went on to score a goal in the game and the Penguins walked away with a huge win as closed out a perfect three-game road trip.
The family said in a statement earlier this week that Hillman was diagnosed with renal medullary carcinoma, a form of liver cancer, in August and that he was in hospice care in Atlanta. Kreider scored off the rush 22 seconds in when he sent a puck toward the net from the side wall that deflected past Jarry. Pittsburgh native Vincent Trocheck extended a five-game point streak with his first of two assists on the night. Archibald should probably be considered questionable at this point to suit up against the Rangers on Tuesday. If the winger does miss out, Drew O'Connor figures to step into a fourth-line role.
The Penguins have assembled 11 five-game winning streaks in Barnes' tenure, an amazing feat considering the program had one in the 13 seasons before his arrival. He also has a career-best 13-game point streak, tied for fourth-longest in team history. The 35-year-old center would then score the eventual game-winner in the third, beating Igor Shesterkin with a backhand on a two-on-one rush. Crosby is now tied for seventh in the league with 42 points through 32 games this season. The Penguins are riding a six-game winning streak over which they've outscored their opponents by an average of 29.2 points per game. YSU has won four of those contests at Beeghly Center, and its average margin of victory in those contests is 39.3.
Chris Terry has a four-game assist streak with six assists in that span. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Nick is a reporter for Inside the Penguins. Nick has had a hand in covering Pittsburgh sports and news since 2018 previously with KDKA Radio and 93.7 the Fan. He is also the co-host of the Tip of the Ice-Burgh Podcast talking all things Penguins.
