Sometimes, when I look at statistics, numbers, standings, or anything like that, I try and see what I think stands out specifically.
Let’s do that for the Penguins right now.
The Penguins rank tied for 4th in the NHL with 20 points, bringing a record of 9-6-2 to the table in their 17 games played. The optics of some of the losses come across really ugly, especially when you remember the 10-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, the 7-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the 7-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.
