Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morningâŠ
Anthony Manthaâs poor playoff showing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, which includes zero postseason goals after leading the team in the regular season with 33, in addition to costly penalties across the first three games, may be making the teamâs offseason choice easier by pushing them away from re-signing him this summer. While Mantha had a career-best regular season, his age, injury history, and lack of playoff impact make him a questionable fit for a team that needs to get younger and faster. [PensBurgh] If youâre looking for a sliver of optimism in what has been a disaster-filled three-game series thus far, maybe itâs comforting to know that Stuart Skinnerâs experience helping nearly climb out of a 0-3 Stanley Cup Final deficit in 2024 gives the Penguins reason to believe he can handle adversity again. [] Three Penguins prospects selected in the 2025 draft, forwards Jordan Charron, Kale Dach, and Travis Hayes, have signed amateur tryout contracts with the Penguinsâ AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the remainder of the season.
