The Penguins’ three-man core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang has played together for 19 seasons, a record for North American sports. It’s a nice story. The unbreakable bond of eternal brotherhood.

Vince Dunn scored the go-ahead goal with a two-man advantage late in the second period as the Seattle Kraken defeated the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Saturday, spoiling a historic afternoon for Sidney Crosby.

Penguins GM Kyle Dubas made a big decision last week by placing goalie Tristan Jarry, with three years remaining on his contract at $5.38M, on waivers.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (20-21-8) were firmly in control until a pair of late second-period penalties. The LA Kings (30-11-5)  converted on a two-man advantage to close within 3-1 and seize palpable momentum.

The next opponent is the Pittsburgh Penguins. It’s the final contest of a seven-game road trip that has not been kind to the Penguins. They’re on a three-game losing streak, despite the fact that none of those opponents are playoff teams. Utah hopes to extend that skid to four games.
