In [[2010–11 NHL season|2010–11]], the Penguins played their first game in [[Consol Energy Center]]. On February 11, 2011, the [[Pittsburgh Penguins–New York Islanders brawl]] took place.<ref name=brawl2011>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=552570|title=NHL levies suspensions to Penguins and Isles|website=National Hockey League|date=February 12, 2011|access-date=March 4, 2011|archive-date=February 26, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110226234921/http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=552570|url-status=live}}</ref> A season-ending concussion suffered by Crosby and a knee injury to Malkin marred the season. The team left early in the playoffs, blowing a 3–1 series lead to [[Tampa Bay Lightning]], with Fleury's goaltending called into question.<ref>{{cite news|title=Home ice may be dividing line between Pens, Bolts|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=559010&navid=DL%7cNHL%7cPlayoffs2011Round1Series4|access-date=April 12, 2011|date=April 10, 2011|work=NHL.com|archive-date=April 16, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110416100949/http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=559010&navid=DL%7CNHL%7CPlayoffs2011Round1Series4|url-status=live}}</ref> With Crosby still sidelined with [[post-concussion syndrome]], at the start of the [[2011–12 NHL season|2011–12 season]], Malkin led the Penguins' top line and dominated league scoring. He finished with 50 goals and 109 points as the Penguins earned 51 wins on the season. With Malkin's Art Ross-winning performance, and Crosby's late-season return from injury, the Penguins headed into the [[2012 Stanley Cup playoffs|2012 playoffs]] with high hopes of making a significant Stanley Cup run. However, their cross-state rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers, defeated the highly favored Penguins in six games.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gelston|first=Dan|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=629282|title=Penguins humbled, disappointed after being ushered from playoffs by rival Flyers|website=National Hockey League|access-date=June 23, 2012|date=April 23, 2012|archive-date=June 17, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130617082413/http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=629282|url-status=live}}</ref> Malkin was later awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy and [[Ted Lindsay Award|Lester B. Pearson award]]. Following the Penguins' disappointing playoff exit, general manager Ray Shero made changes to the team at the [[2012 NHL entry draft]] for the upcoming [[2012–13 NHL season|2012–13 season]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Masisak|first=Corey|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=635610|title=Penguins deal Jordan Staal to 'Canes|website=National Hockey League|access-date=June 23, 2013|date=June 22, 2012|archive-date=June 23, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120623223755/http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=635610|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=399048|title=Penguins trade Michalek back to Phoenix for Ruopp, pick|publisher=TSN|access-date=June 23, 2012|date=June 23, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120626011814/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=399048|archive-date=June 26, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>

During the [[2012–13 NHL lockout|lockout]]-shortened 2012–13 season, the Penguins again fought through serious injury. At the end of the regular season, they finished atop the Eastern Conference, matching up against the New York Islanders in round one. The Penguins defeated the Islanders in six games, with Fleury struggling once again. The team then dispatched the Ottawa Senators in five games before being swept in the conference finals by the Boston Bruins, scoring just two goals in the entire four-game sweep. On June 13, 2013, Malkin signed an eight-year contract extension worth an annual average of $9.5 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2013/6/13/4426208/pittsburgh-penguins-evgeni-malkin-contract-extension|title=Evgeni Malkin contract: Penguins forward agrees to 8-year, $76 million extension|date=June 13, 2013|publisher=SB Nation|access-date=May 7, 2021|archive-date=May 25, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170525143338/http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2013/6/13/4426208/pittsburgh-penguins-evgeni-malkin-contract-extension|url-status=live}}</ref>

In the [[2013–14 NHL season|2013–14 season]], the Penguins suffered numerous injuries throughout the campaign. Despite the adversity, the Penguins won the realigned, eight-team [[Metropolitan Division]], though the club struggled in the [[2014 Stanley Cup playoffs|playoffs]], requiring six games to defeat the [[Columbus Blue Jackets]], then losing to the New York Rangers in seven games despite leading the series 3–1 after four games. This collapse prompted Penguins ownership to fire general manager Shero, replacing him on June 6 with [[Jim Rutherford]], the former general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/24564341/report-penguins-fire-head-coach-dan-bylsma-gm-ray-shero|title=Penguins fire Ray Shero, new GM to decide Dan Bylsma's fate|work=CBS Sports|access-date=May 16, 2014|date=May 16, 2014|archive-date=May 17, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517114409/http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/24564341/report-penguins-fire-head-coach-dan-bylsma-gm-ray-shero|url-status=live}}</ref> Rutherford's first action as general manager was to fire head coach Dan Bylsma, and on June 25, he announced that [[Mike Johnston (ice hockey)|Mike Johnston]] was hired as Bylsma's replacement. In the [[2014–15 NHL season|2014–15 season]], the Penguins led the Metropolitan Division for the first half of the season. However, after losing players to injuries and illnesses, including the [[mumps]], the team fell to fourth in the division. The Penguins lost in five games to the New York Rangers in the first round of the playoffs. In the off-season, Rutherford traded several players and picks to acquire star winger [[Phil Kessel]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/penguins-acquire-kessel-from-maple-leafs/c-773329|title=Penguins acquire Kessel from Maple Leafs|date=July 1, 2015|publisher=National Hockey League |access-date=February 2, 2021|archive-date=December 25, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201225071442/https://www.nhl.com/news/penguins-acquire-kessel-from-maple-leafs/c-773329|url-status=live}}</ref>
