Random Penguins thoughts: Teddy Blueger, Jason Zucker, and defensive play

There was a 24 hour period about a month-and-a-half ago where the Pittsburgh Penguins looked like they were going to have a fully healthy roster following the season debut of Evgeni Malkin. That did not last very long as Bryan Rust, Zach Aston-Reese, Teddy Blueger, Danton Heinen, and Jason Zucker have all missed multiple games (and in some cases, a significant number of games) since then.

This seems important because there has been some concern at times over the past couple of weeks about the way the Penguins have played, especially as they have lost back-to-back games against Toronto and Carolina and at times appeared to be a little more reckless in their style of play.
