The Penguins sit atop the Metropolitan Division with 15 total points in 11 games played, which they’ve accomplished despite having a -7 GD. The goal differential is mainly due to former backup Antti Niemi who let up 16 goals in just three games. The Penguins placed Niemi on waivers, and he was claimed by the Panthers after the injury to Roberto Luongo. Casey DeSmith, with a .980 save percentage in three AHL games this year, took his place as NHL backup.
