The Penguins season so far has been one of struggle. Two steps forward, one step back. One step forward, two steps back. An injury here. An outbreak there.
Throughout it all, the team has maintained a pretty impressive process and driven excellent advanced stats, as looked into here. It’s seemed like, for a while, that the Pens are on the verge of a breakout.
Yet, they haven’t broken out.
The Pens right now can’t finish. Whether it’s Jacob Markstrom, Dustin Tokarski, Jake Allen or Ilya Sorokin, they’ve also been “getting goalied” too much lately — with opposition standing on their heads.
