The Latest Penguins Buzz; Sunday's Rumor Mill

Pascal Dupuis a healthy scratch Saturday night has gone 14 games without a goal. His days of playing on the top two lines needs to end but the coaching staff likes his defensive zone play which keeps getting him minutes on the first or second line.

As expected the Penguins re-assigned Janne Pesonen to WBS following last night's game.

Here’s what I’m hearing that the Penguins blueline will be when Ryan Whitney is healthy. Orpik, Letang, Whitney, Boucher, Gill, Scuderi. (7th Goligoski and 8th Eaton). I still think Alex Goligoski will be AHL bound when the Penguins blueline is healthy if he is not moved for a top 6 forward. A early target date for Whitney is believed to be December 8th when the Penguins host the Buffalo Sabres.

The Latest on the Penguins pursuit of a top 6 forward. Talks are on-going between the Penguins and a Western Conference team
