Entering their Tuesday night game against the Arizona Coyotes the Pittsburgh Penguins have lost four games in a row and eight of their past 11 games.
The offense has gone cold, the power play has been completely shut out for more than a month and even the penalty kill has shown some cracks.
Despite all of those problems the one thing the Penguins have at least been able to point to is that at least their 5-on-5 play has been very strong this season, in terms of both goals and an ability to control the pace of play and puck possession.
