For the first time in more than two weeks, the Penguins will return home to the friendly confines of PPG Paints Arena! Patrick and Hunter get you ready for a Saturday night matchup with the Nashville Predators. They talk about how both teams have severely underachieved this season but for separate reasons. They also go over how despite both of the teams being below .500, it still is a matchup the Penguins have to be ready for given Nashville's offensive firepower. Next, the NHL and NHLPA have released their salary cap projections for the next three years and this could be a massive resource for the Penguins' current rebuild. Finally, to the surprise of no one, Sidney Crosby will captain Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off!

The Pittsburgh Penguins ended their seven-game road trip on a high note as Sidney Crosby lifted his team over the Utah Hockey Club with a gorgeous OT goal. Hunter and Patrick break down the franchise's first victory over Utah and look at how Sid continues to kick butt with special moments like these. They also dive into Erik Karlsson's mixed performance and how he was able to redeem himself with a goal and a really underrated play in overtime. After that, they dive into the play of goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic and the timely saves that he made before looking towards the future with a WBS update! Vasily Ponomarev and Ville Koivunen were outstanding on Wednesday, could they be getting the call soon? All that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.

The Penguins' longest road trip of the season comes to an end tonight as the franchise makes its first-ever appearance in Utah. Patrick and Hunter get you ready for the team's first game in Salt Lake City where they'll face the Utah Hockey Club for the second time this season. They talk about what the Penguins have to do to get back into the win column as well as go over how with stable ownership and some talented young stars, Utah is a team on the rise. Then, they discuss how the trade deadline and offseason are shaping up to really work out in the Penguins' favor. The Penguins will have plenty of cap space, trade chips, and most importantly, options over the next few months to overhaul their roster. Finally, it's Wednesday and that means it's Warrior Helmet Wednesday so Patrick and Hunter still hand out an MVP of the week despite a disappointing week in Penguins Land.

The Pittsburgh Penguins dropped their third game in a row on Monday, losing 2-1 to the San Jose Sharks. Hunter and Patrick discuss what was an unacceptable effort in San Jose on Monday and how this team continues to trend towards being a lock for a top 5-10 pick in this year's draft. After that, they discuss how their mistakes were self-inflicted, another theme of this season before giving their thoughts on the goaltender interference call and the Cody Glass penalty at the end of the game. Finally, they discuss FSG potentially adding a minority owner to the Penguins and what it would mean.

The Pittsburgh Penguins were unable to follow a complete victory in LA on Thursday night, dropping their matchup against the Anaheim Ducks. Hunter and Patrick dive into how this week sums up the Penguins season in a nutshell with how inconsistent they are. They look at how they let a great start go to waste and how they couldn't push back when the Ducks started to find their game. They shout out John Gibson for a great performance in the net since he made a lot of timely saves before diving into how rough PO Joseph was on the backend. After that, they shout out the power play for continuing to be a bright spot this season. Finally, they get you guys set for Saturday's matchup against the Seattle Kraken and give their keys to victory.
