CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Despite holding a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final, Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan says his team needs to stick to its identity after being outplayed for large swaths of the first two games of the series.
"I don't think we've played our best. I think the third period of Game 2 was probably our best period of this series," Sullivan said Friday, before correcting himself. "Not probably, it has been our best period of the series.
"It's about playing to our identity, it's about winning puck battles, it's about using our quickness and our speed, it's about counterattack mentality.
