NEWARK, N.J. -- The Penguins have lost eight of their past 10 games and have, much of the time, looked pretty bad doing it.
But while going through a skid like that has to put a few dents in the team's collective psyche, New Jersey coach Alain Nasreddine said Tuesday morning that he doesn't expect the Penguins to be mentally brittle when they face the Devils tonight at 7:08 at Prudential Center.
"I don't know if I'd ever think of Pittsburgh as being 'fragile,' '' he said. "I know they're having a tough stretch here, but these guys, they know how to get at it and they know what they need to do to win games.
