Another week has come and gone as the NHL season continues. The Pittsburgh Penguins have been in hold on mode, looking to weather the storms that they find themselves in. After having so much health and favorable availability for most of the first half of the season, 2023 has not been kind to the Pens. Their starting goalie has been out for almost two weeks now and joining him has been the team’s top three defensemen all absent at the same time. Winning games in the NHL is hard enough as it is, winning without such key players all missing has shown to be almost impossible.
