The Penguins flipped the script against the Boston Bruins on Sunday at PPG Paints Arena, erasing a 3-0 deficit to beat the Bruins in OT! Patrick and Hunter begin the show recapping the Penguins' first three-goal comeback without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin since the year 2001! They talk about how Igor Chinakhov got the ball rolling with a wicked power play goal, Anthony Mantha's massive performance, and how the Penguins were able to force the Bruins to play a style they don't frequently play. (0:00) Then, they take a look at the first game of the weekend back-to-back, which was a shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. They get into why the Penguins continue to struggle in the shootout, what they can change, and how on Saturday, shootout struggles weren't the Penguins' biggest issue. (13:31) Finally, the Penguins' hectic month gets worse this week when they begin a five-game road trip that will see them meet multiple contenders across a week-long span. (26:10)

The Penguins only made one move on trade deadline day, and it was a minor one, but the big story of the day is goaltender interference and Evgeni Malkin. Hunter and Patrick begin the show talking about Evgeni Malkin’s impending suspension after getting ejected for swinging his stick at Rasmus Dahlin’s head. (2:00) They handicap how many games they expect Geno to be suspended, and how, as a leader and veteran, that cannot happen. Then they discuss the controversial goal call that was not overturned despite very obvious goalie interference. (7:35) Kyle Dubas was quiet on deadline day, only trading a third-round pick for a BIG forward out of Detroit. Was it the right call to mostly stand pat at the deadline, or should he have taken a bigger swing?)16:00) Finally, the Penguins have a home back-to-back this weekend when they’ll play the Philadelphia Flyers and Boston Bruins.

Before the NHL trade deadline, the Penguins will take on the league's hottest team: The Buffalo Sabres. Patrick and Hunter begin the show taking a look at the league's hottest team - and this is not a typo - the Buffalo Sabres. What has led to the success of the Sabres so far this year? Well, just about everything from their forward depth to their defense, and even some great goaltending performances. (0:00) Then, they shift the focus to the Penguins, who got some good news this morning as it appears Blake Lizotte's absence is just one game and he is set to return tonight. They give their keys to victory, as well as a Sidney Crosby update. (12:54) Finally, the trade deadline is less than a day away, and for the Penguins, they have plenty of options, but which would be the smartest? (23:08)

It wasn’t meant to be on Tuesday night at TD Garden as Jeremy Swayman shut the door on the Penguins. Hunter and Patrick talk about another boring game in Boston that saw the Bruins’ defensive system stymie the Penguins, and when it didn’t, Jeremy Swayman was there to make several big saves. (1:15) They also discuss how the Penguins made changes to counter Boston’s defensive game, and how, on most nights, that type of play will lead to wins. (12:00) Finally, it’s Wednesday, and it’s time to hand out the MVP of the week in another Warrior Helmet Wednesday! (21:20)

The Penguins' hectic March continues tonight in Boston, and with the trade deadline looming, what will the team do? Patrick and Hunter begin the show by taking a look at the confusing Boston Bruins, who, despite not being one of the deepest rosters, find themselves deep in the playoff hunt. The Penguins will have to counter the Bruins' defensive style and play a patient game. (0:00) Then, they keep the discussion going about how there will be some lineup changes in Boston, which goalie should start, and why special teams will make or break tonight's game in Boston. (13:09) Finally, with the trade deadline less than a week away, should the Penguins be shopping Stuart Skinner, or should they hang onto him? Also, what's going on with Evgeni Malkin's contract extension? (21:18)

The Penguins picked up where they left off before the Olympic break, getting a massive two points against the New Jersey Devils! Patrick and Hunter begin the show recapping an up-and-down win over the Devils, which saw the Penguins start slow but find their game throughout. A lot of the effort is credited to goaltender Arturs Silovs, who made several key saves to keep the Penguins in the hunt until they found their legs in the third period. (0:00) Then, the Penguins will begin a weekend back-to-back in New York City, where they'll take on the worst team in the East, the New York Rangers. For the Penguins, they have to take advantage of a down Rangers team, and that begins with getting to goaltender Igor Shesterkin. (15:04) Finally, the Penguins wrap up the weekend at home, taking on the Vegas Golden Knights. As always, Vegas brings a strong team to Pittsburgh, but there is one weakness the Penguins will have to exploit. (27:11)

The Penguins return to action tonight against divisional rival New Jersey, and it’s a chance to start the back half with a win. Hunter and Patrick begin the episode by taking a look at the New Jersey Devils, who, despite being mostly healthy, are having a disappointing season. (1:00) They look into why the Devils have underperformed and identify the cause. Then, the Penguins will have some new-look lines in the absence of Sidney Crosby, so who has to step up and carry the load in the captain’s absence? (10:45) Finally, they go over some keys to victory for the Penguins tonight at PPG Paints Arena. (21:00)

The Penguins announced that captain Sidney Crosby is on IR and will miss a minimum of four weeks, so can the Penguins survive this injury? Patrick and Hunter begin the show, breaking down the news that Crosby's injury will keep him out of the Penguins' lineup for around a month, and looking at who has to step up, how they can stay in the playoff race, and what head coach Dan Muse will have to do to keep this team afloat. (0:00) Then, the Penguins swung a trade yesterday for defenseman Samuel Girard. Where does he fit into the lineup, and can he mesh with Kris Letang, who seemed to rediscover his game with Brett Kulak? They also check out the line combinations from practice, and a lot more! (13:53) Finally, Warrior Helmet Wednesday returns, and they hand out their MVP awards for the last week! (25:44)

For the first time since 1980, the United States men's hockey team has won gold, and the Penguins make their return this week! Patrick and Hunter begin the week by recapping an INSTANT CLASSIC gold medal game between the United States and Canada.
