Penguins' Winger Set New Career-high

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been getting production from up and down their lineup during a 2025-26 season in which they've exceeded expectations, and they find themselves in the thick of the playoff race.

And one winger - new to the Penguins this season - continues to build on what has been the best year of his NHL career.

In Monday's game against the Colorado Avalanche, winger Anthony Mantha set a new career-high in goals when he potted his 26th of the season on a breakaway during the first period. Mantha's goal was Pittsburgh's second of the game and, at the time, put the Penguins up, 2-1.

And, with the goal, he continues to build on a new career-high in points (52) as well.

The 31-year-old was signed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal in the offseason by Penguins' GM/POHO Kyle Dubas after playing just 13 games last season for the Calgary Flames. Mantha tore his ACL, which ended his 2024-25 season prematurely.

He is just one goal shy of tying captain Sidney Crosby - still out with a lower-body injury - for the team lead in goals.
