With a few days off between games at the Holiday break let us check in with a few thoughts, numbers and observations on the Pittsburgh Penguins through the first three months of the season. Mostly because I have a lot of thoughts.
1. Sidney Crosby is back on track for his point per game run
Even though Crosby is not scoring a ton of goals at the moment (that might be starting to change) he is still playing some world-class, dominant hockey and thanks to his eight points over the past three games he is now back well above a point-per-game pace for the season (39 points in 36 games).
