Penguins' Matt Grzelcyk: Two power-play assists in win
Matt Grzelcyk notched two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Flames.Grzelcyk had four assists over 14 outings in November, and all of them came on the power play. He saw 4:14 on the power play Saturday, but he's often been in a lesser role since the Pittsburgh Penguins can trot out the duo of Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang. Grzelcyk's defense has been a concern, but he has 10 helpers, 31 shots on net and 39 blocked shots to partially offset an ugly minus-13 rating. His career highs are 26 in points and seven in power-play points, and he could eclipse both marks in 2024-25 if he stays healthy.

Penguins' Matt Grzelcyk: Draws helper with man advantage
Matt Grzelcyk logged a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Lightning.The helper snapped a six-game point drought for Grzelcyk, but that was about the only positive from his performance. His two points over nine outings in November have both been power-play assist. The 30-year-old defenseman is at eight assists, 23 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 21 contests overall. Grzelcyk's poor defensive play is part of a larger problem in Pittsburgh, and it's likely only because of his teammates' struggles that he hasn't sat out a game yet.

Penguins' Matt Grzelcyk: Offers power-play assist
