NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins at Calgary Flames Candice Ward-USA TODAY Sports

Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning...

Last night, the Penguins finished off another back-to-back by traveling to Calgary to battle the Flames. After Kris Letang took a penalty and as a result, gave the Flames a late 3rd-period lead, he went and pulled a “Dumb and Dumber” and totally redeemed himself with the game-tying goal. The Penguins would fall in OT, however, 2-1. [Recap]

Here’s a depressing story on all of the whiffs the Penguins have made in the first round of the NHL Draft! If this story does nothing for you, at the very least, please enjoy Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin while they're still here. [Post-Gazette]

Come meet a child with the first name of Malkin and the middle name of Crosby. [Penguins]
