It seems every time our Penguins provide a glimmer of hope for better things to come, those hopes get trampled under foot. Or more appropriately, under skate.
After gathering a shred of momentum with a pair of stirring victories, our Mr. Hyde side resurfaced in an abysmal 6-0 dismantling at the hands of the Kings last night at Crypto.com Arena.
Blemishes that were more or less concealed during our modest two-game winning streak resurfaced with a vengeance. For starters, we gave up a goal early (2:28 on a deflection by Jaret Anderson-Dolan) and late (17:47 on a second chance follow-up by Alex Iafallo) in the opening frame.
