February There is no other way to put, the Penguins ended February in the worst possible way imaginable, losers of six straight games including a brutal three game stretch against the putrid California teams that saw them outscored 10-2 on the trip.
Now they return home, battered and beaten, but still very much in control of their own destiny going forward. Another plus for the Penguins is that they are either even on games played or hold a few games in hand over teams around them in the standings.
If they hope to put this losing streak behind them and return to their winning ways, they will have a bevy of chances to do so this month.
