Penguins Playoff Update: Bottoms Up

WANTED. Bottom nine forwards. Must be able to skate, hit and…most important…put the puck in the net. Apply at PPG Paints Arena. Preferably before Game 3 on Saturday night.

I’m being facetious. Sort of. Once again, our secondary scoring has dried up, and at a most inopportune time.

One-line teams don’t go very far in the playoffs. Two games in, the Penguins are looking very much like a one-line team. The only goal not scored by the Sidney Crosby line was Evgeni Malkin’s Game 1 overtime winner, with assists going to Kasperi Kapanen and defenseman John Marino.
