The latest edition of the Pittsburgh Penguins 2023-24 “one step forward, one step back” tour continued this week with stops in Minnesota and Winnipeg. The Pens only scored three total goals, a byproduct of a 1-for-9 effort on power play and went onto lose two close games. Just like that, all the progress from going 2-0-1 like they did in the games sandwiched before and after the All-Star break is right out the window. Ouch.
