March has typically been a month the Penguins have hit full gear and rocketed up the standings as the playoffs get closer. With the extended 2021-22 season, however, March hasn’t been quite as important since there are still four full weeks of season to go — unlike most years when there is less than 10 days.
Pittsburgh’s isn’t quite peaking yet, though an 8-4-2 month (.643 points%) against significant competition is nothing to blink at either. The Pens outscored their competition 52-36 on aggregate for the month, which is naturally skewed a bit by the once in 20 years thumping of 11-2 that they gave Detroit.
