The Pittsburgh Penguins have been playing their best hockey of the season over the past two weeks and it has at least given fans a reason to pay attention for the time being.
There are a lot of players responsible for that improved play.
Bryan Rust has been outstanding and clutch. Tristan Jarry has at least been passable in goal. Michael Bunting has started to score a little more and produce something. Sidney Crosby and the top line are scoring some goals. Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang have played better. All of those performances are a necessity.
