Dan Kingerski goes solo on Episode 53 of No Pucks Given, breaking down the Pittsburgh Penguins’ playoff margin, what happens to the roster when Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby return from injury, and the future of Anthony Mantha as a pending free agent. Dan also takes a hard look at the defensive pairings, Ben Kindel’s development ceiling, and why the Columbus Blue Jackets hot streak is threatening to knock the Penguins out of a wild card spot.

Hey Dan good to watch you brother! Can't wait to see how the season will pan out thanks for the coverage
I think Girard and St Ivany would be 13-15 minutes serviceable… depends when St Ivany is good to return
I think it’s a fascinating story in determining who our #1 goalie is… coming down to the wire, do you remove the 50/50 split?
I say Avery Hayes all day. That dude got fire in his blood. Not to mention you need someone to bring the knuckles. Even if they are sm knuckles. Someone needs to back up the big boys on the squad. Or else we may look like the Maple Leafs. No pushback when their star took a cheap shot. They did nothing. You can't have that people. Not in NHL HOCKEY 🏒🥅
CBJ might make the playoffs but DET is done so this doesnt destroy PITs chances. No one else in PITs division has enough time or game to over take them. The problem will be if the Sens get on a run. Then PIT could be bounced. As it stands defense should be 65&28 58&7 and 5& preferably 3St Ivany but 49 Girard would be the next option. Forward lines 17-87-67 25-71-59 39-18-43 4th line stays the same and 81 in the press box. If Colorado needed a desperate win Kindle would get humiliated, but he still might get exposed enough tonight that he could sat down soon for the playoffs or a run at them. Hes your weakest link.
Liked, subscribed, and appreciate your work Dan. Thank you
