The Penguins’ inability to hold leads: By the numbers

Related Topics: Pittsburgh Penguins, Joe Sargent

For about 50 minutes on Tuesday night the Pittsburgh Penguins looked like they might have been on their way to a solid road win at the New York Islanders and on the verge of putting together a three-game winning streak. It would not have been a season-saving win, but it would have been some nice momentum and two nice points in the standings at the start of an extremely difficult road trip and upcoming stretch of games.

They were winning 3-1, looked to be in decent control .... and then gave up two quick goals to tie the game and send it to overtime.
