SUNRISE, Fla. – Six minutes into this one, the Penguins were looked so sloppy that it seemed like they might need former coach Michel Therrien to venture down from the press box and install some sense of responsibility.
Fortunately for Therrien’s ex-employer, this group snapped out of its funk.
Then did it once more for show.
With their former coach in the house on a scouting assignment for the Montreal Canadiens, the Penguins flashed some serious resilience during a 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers on Friday at BB&T Center.
Both times the Penguins faced adversity in this one, they turned to their old friend: the power play.
