State of the Penguins: Five early-season takeaways

The Pittsburgh Penguins have not played since their 3-0 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday. Since then, the Penguins have been nomads, by choice. Pittsburgh opted to turn its upcoming three-game, five-day Western Canada swing into a 10-day excursion. After the game Thursday, the Penguins did not return home. They practiced at the AHL Marlies' arena, then traversed West, settling for the past two days in Banff, Alberta, a scenic resort town.

"Even though we have a lot of returning players, we have some new guys on our team," coach Mike Sullivan told reporters.
