Frustration mounts, Johnston in trouble

Penguins Head Coach Mike Johnston hasn't had many answers since taking over the Penguins after replacing a coach (Bylsma) that was criticized for failing to adjust his system against difference tactics the opposition deployed against the team.

On Friday night, Columbus pushed their way around the ice at Consol Energy Center on their way to a 2-1 victory.

It was the same old theme, power play was a mess going 0 for 6 and second period was another embarrassing let down.

Then on Saturday night, it was disorganized hockey.

A 4-0 Devils victory in Newark that wasn't even as close as the lopsided score would indicate against the Penguins.
