It's always a busy Monday for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hunter recaps the news on the team as they have once again been hit by COVID. Who is now in the protocols? Which players will have to step up in their absence? Hunter also goes into if the protocols could be changing now that the CDC has changed some guidelines. Could asymptomatic players come back a bit sooner than symptomatic players? Will the NHL follow what the NBA is doing? Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust are also nearing their returns, but who's will be first? Could we see Malkin on Sid's wing to start out a little bit? Which players from the first wave of callups will likely be in Friday's lineup? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Merry Christmas! Hunter recaps a small newsy Friday around the NHL as the league has paused for another day. That means that the Penguins game on Monday will be canceled and Hunter goes all into when that game will likely be made up. What's the road ahead like for Pittsburgh after? Will this help all of their injured players? He goes into that as well before touching on Mike Sullivan in the second segment. How hard is his system to play against? Does it speak volumes that the team still fully listens to him after all of these years? How much of his footprints are on this team? Finally, Hunter ends with some playoff talk and ponders the thought that most teams that are currently in it likely will be at the end of the season. Should we get a Carolina-Pittsburgh series for the return of Jordan Staal? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

The holidays are right around the corner and that means it's time to touch on the Penguins' best holiday videos. Hunter goes into what the Penguins did for this year's version, plus ponders which video they've done in years past. Did some players in today's video imitate a few players from the past? He also goes into some bold predictions for players for the last 50 games, and those players include Tristan Jarry, Kasperi Kapanen, Sidney Crosby, and many more. Finally, Hunter touches on his favorite past games for the Penguins around the holidays: Where does the NYE game in late 2016 rank? What about the one from 2015? Or the one from right after Thanksgiving?

Make it lucky number 7! The Penguins continue to be the hottest team in the league and beat the New Jersey Devils on Sunday night, 3-2. Hunter recaps that performance and starts with the obvious: Yes, the team stunk. That said, he goes into how winning these kinds of games is a sign of a really good team. He also touches on Teddy Blueger's goal and how he was able to completely fool Gillies, then breaks down Danton Heinen's powerful shot. Is this the best level of Heinen we have seen since his days in Boston? Hunter also touches on how this team continues to be slept on by numerous people and how it should stay that way, plus does a small preview on the Flyers game for Thursday. All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

Make it SIX for your Pittsburgh Penguins! Hunter is back to end all Penguins fans' weeks with a BANG after the team continued its winning streak. He first goes into Evan Rodrigues and what else is there to say at this point? He's been dynamite all season and ripped another laser on the power play for Pittsburgh to take the early lead. Hunter then pats himself for getting his Brock McGinn take right. How does he compare to Brandon Tanev from last year? Why is the contract much better overall as well? He then walks the listeners back through the Carter OT winner and special play that reminded him of before again praising the penalty kill yet again. All that, plus a small preview against the New Jersey Devils, on this episode of Locked On Penguins.

It's another late-night one! Hunter is back with a fresh episode on the Pittsburgh Penguins. He first goes into a deep preview on the Sabres...was the falling off expected? Is Tage Thompson turning into a Penguins killer? How has Kyle Okposo been able to rewind the clock? Hunter then touches on Kasperi Kapanen and how he's been able to turn it around. Was regression to the mean always the likeliest of scenarios? Does this turnaround coincide with how good his underlying numbers have been? He then discusses Jason Zucker's play and what the team should do with him before ending the show with a rant about how the DC media needs to stop dragging Crosby down when Ovechkin does something great.

They go into Sean's overall thoughts on the team as he saw the turnaround coming a little bit before going into Evan Rodrigues. Is this sustainable? Where should he be in the lineup when the team is healthy? They then touch on Tristan Jarry and how he continues to impress. What's the biggest thing Sean has noticed about his game? Yes, Snoop Dogg is mentioned as well. Will he be calling a Penguins game with the jersey on at some point? All that, plus much more on this special episode of Locked On Penguins.

That's now five in a row for the Penguins! Hunter does a full game recap of this one as Pittsburgh did what they needed to do against an inferior opponent. He goes into his biggest takeaways of this game and it has to begin with Evan Rodrigues. He touches on what he's on pace for after another outstanding game, before then going into the full Mike Matheson experience. Is this what everyone should expect from him on a nightly basis? Hunter also brings up Kris Letang after another strong performance and touches on the Pierre Lebrun report about a contract extension. Should Letang get another long-term one? What's the sweet spot for a contract for him? He also speaks about the power-play woes, Tristan Jarry, Kasperi Kapanen, and a whole lot more.
