Another game and it’s the same old story for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
This game was a microcosm of many of the ills that plague this team. A horrific powerplay, no offensive depth, and yet another 3rd-period implosion cost this team points they desperately need in an extremely tight eastern conference.
The defeat marks the 4th in a row for the squad and brings their record in December to a painful 0-2-2, spared from complete disaster only by two loser points.
This run has been the Penguins’ worst start to a December since 2006, which also included a loss to the Panthers.
