Video: Jordan Staal's Knee Injury

The Penguins faced one of the hottest NHL teams on Friday night, the New York Rangers. After the Pens fell by a final score of 3-1, the loss wasn't the only dark cloud over Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Penguins center Jordan Staal's left knee collided with Mike Rupp late in the third period. Staal immediately went to the ice, writhing in pain.

Pittsburgh Penguins: Another Late-Night Matchup Against the Los Angeles Kings

Tonight, the Pittsburgh Penguins wrap up their West Coast trip with a game against the Los Angeles Kings. In their previous game, the Pens lost in a shootout to the San Jose Sharks.

NHL Playoffs 2011: 3 Changes Needed for Pittsburgh Penguins to Win Game 7

After last night's hard-fought loss at the St. Pete Times Forum, one thing is certain if the Pittsburgh Penguins want to advance to the second round of the NHL playoffs: Changes must be made.

With the exception of Game 4, when Chris Kunitz was suspended for elbowing Simon Gagne, the Penguins have played with the exact same lineup every game.
