After climbing to the top of the Metropolitan Division in 2019-20, the Penguins unraveled, losing six-straight games and going 3-8 in their final 11. Even a prolonged Covid break couldn’t shake us from our funk. Months later we fell like a spent leaf to Montreal in the qualifying round of the playoffs.
The past, as they say, is prologue. In the wake of a disheartening 6-3 loss yesterday afternoon to blood rival Washington, we appear to be vice locked in a death spiral of similar proportions.
We’ve lost four in a row by a combined score of 18-9.
