Penguins mailbag: Why isn't Daniel Sprong in the NHL?

Welcome to the March Madness edition of the Post-Gazette Penguins mailbag. Over the past few weeks, the Penguins have solidified their position as one of the top three teams in the Metropolitan Division and are in a good spot to get home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs as the first or second seed.

They’re coming off a clinical 3-1 win against Dallas on Sunday night after a frustrating loss in Toronto on Saturday. This next stretch will be a tough one, though. Of their next eight games, five will be on the road and five will be against divisional teams.
