The Penguins were in 2nd place in the Metro when we last checked in, but have since dropped to 4th place and are now looking over their shoulder as the current second Wild Card. The Penguins are 3-6-1 the last 10 games and have lost four in a row.
Last week started ominously for the Penguins at home against Carolina and never got any better. The Penguins never seemed to get going the entire 60 minutes and it showed on the scoreboard with a 4-0 loss to the Canes. The Penguins then hit the road to Florida and Jared McCann scored for the Penguins against the team that traded him a week ago but the Penguins would fall in overtime by a final of 3-2 in Sunrise.
