Since Mike Sullivan stepped behind the Penguins’ bench in December 2015, the Penguins have carried a lead into the third period 208 times during the regular season.
They’ve only lost six of those games in regulation.
Pens leading after 2 periods and losing in regulation? Rare.
Since Sullivan became coach, they are 193-6-9 when leading after 2 periods, with Dallas accounting for 2 of those 6 (also 2/28/17 @ Dallas, 2-3).— Bob Grove (@bobgrove91) January 8, 2022In 2021-22 so far, the Penguins are 18-1-1 when leading after two periods.
