The Pittsburgh Penguins are pivoting slightly with their goalie choices. Stuart Skinner has been tabbed to start a second consecutive game for the first time since joining the team when he takes the net in Calgary tonight after earning a 6-3 win in Seattle on Monday.

Brett Kulak broke a second-period tie with his first goal of the season, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Seattle Kraken 6-3.

Linus Karlsson collected a goal and an assist, rookie defenseman Zeev Buium scored his first goal in 18 games and Blueger also tallied. "Just take what's given, use my feet and try to make a play," Buium said. "We got a couple picks, so it makes it easy for me to kind of attack downhill, and then also create net-front presence."

The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer helped Pittsburgh notch one of its most impressive wins of the season in Edmonton.

The Penguins are 10-2-2 since the NHL’s holiday break. • The Penguins have scored the first goal in each of those 10 wins. (They don’t come out flat like the Steelers.) • The Penguins are 25-14-11. Second in the Metropolitan Division.

Evgeni Malkin discussed the retirement chatter surrounding him and revealed his goal for the future.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Tommy Novak and Evgeni Malkin each had a goal and an assist as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 on Wednesday night. Yegor Chinakhov and Bryan Rust also scored for Pittsburgh (24-14-11).
