Sports - NHL - Pittsburgh Penguins News http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/pit Penguins Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Injuries are officially a problem for the Penguins, who finished a game Saturday night at San Jose without five players who scored 34 of their 79 playoff goals last spring.

Defenseman Kris Letang, who did not play after landing hard on his right side in the first period, joined the ranks of defenseman Sergei Gonchar (broken left wrist), center Evgeni Malkin (strained right shoulder) and wingers Tyler Kennedy (undisclosed lower body injury) and Max Talbot (left shoulder). Letang was scheduled to be re-evaluated Sunday, an off day for the Penguins before their four-game road trip finishes Tuesday night at Boston.

Since Gonchar was injured on Oct. 20, the Penguins are 4-4-0 after an 8-1-0 start.

The Sharks won 5-0.

Joe Pavelski's return from a broken foot provided a jolt to the San Jose Sharks and helped deliver a convincing victory over the Stanley Cup champions. Pavelski had a goal and an assist in his first game back from the injured list, Evgeni Nabokov made 27 saves in his 49th career shutout and the Sharks beat the Pittsburgh Penguins for the seventh straight time at home, 5-0 Saturday night.

The Kings won 5-2.

If the Los Angeles Kings' outstanding start is still escaping attention, maybe a come-from-behind win over the defending NHL champions will attract a little notice for Anze Kopitar and his young, hungry club. Jarrett Stoll scored the go-ahead goal with 7:51 to play, and the Kings rallied for a four-goal third period in a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night.

Marc-Andre Fleury flopped around his crease, awkwardly stacked his pads and even got lucky when a couple of pucks hit him before he saw them.

Backstrom stopped 34 shots in the Wild's 2-1 victory.

Niklas Backstrom finally stole a win for the Minnesota Wild on the road, and in the most unlikely of places. Backstrom made 34 saves and the Wild won an away game for the first time this season, beating the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 on Saturday night. "Backy was great," said Eric Belanger, who had the winning goal.

The big pads circled the puck and Steve Mason thought he had it corraled. Then it started tumbling away, wobbling inches over the goal line. Pittsburgh scored twice in the final 3 minutes of regulation to tie it and Sidney Crosby's shot barely crossed the line in the shootout to lift the Penguins to a 4-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.
