Forget about the New Jersey Devils' early season flirtation with a faster-paced offense.

Devils' defenseman Colin White played for the first time this season Wednesday night, taking regular shifts during a 2-1 victory in Pittsburgh nine weeks after a deflected shot during practice damaged his right eye.

The Penguins will be without center Maxime Talbot, one of their most reliable and productive forwards through the first quarter of the season, for at least three games because of a high ankle sprain.

After seven stellar seasons with the Oilers, Paul Coffey brought his amazing skills to the Steel City.

The Penguins on Thursday recalled center Tyler Kennedy from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL.

The Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday recalled center Denis Tolpeko from the Philadelphia Phantoms, their American Hockey League affiliate, prior to their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Pittsburgh Penguins' forward Evgeni Malkin didn't practice Friday in Philadelphia because of an unspecified knee injury but said he expects to play Saturday night against the Flyers.

One game, and the Philadelphia Flyers already have a better season series record against the Pittsburgh Penguins than they did last season.

The Pittsburgh Penguins finally held on to a two-goal lead, putting an end to a two-game losing streak.

Islanders' goalie Rick DiPietro was struck in the right eye by the stick of Penguins' captain Sidney Crosby in the second period Saturday night and didn't return.

In his return to the bench for one night only, the Al Arbour-led Islanders rallied from a two-goal deficit and beat the Penguins 3-2 Saturday night.

In addition to losing the game, the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday lost the services of defenseman Ryan Whitney who left the 3-2 setback to the Colorado Avalanche in the second period with a groin injury.
