Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now: The Pittsburgh Penguins have a 21-11-4 record coming out of the break despite dealing with a ton of injuries.
Ahead of the trade deadline the Penguins could use a shooting winger that can score.
The Penguins have scouted Ottawa Senators frequently. Potential Senators’ options could be Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Vladislav Namestnikov.
The Florida Panthers could make pending UFAs Mike Hoffman and Evgeni Dadonov available. Dadonov wouldn’t come cheap. Would the Panthers be interested in Nick Bjugstad again?
On the blue line the Penguins could use a physical, left-sided defenseman.
