The Pittsburgh Penguins were having a pretty good week with back-to-back wins over the Arizona Coyotes and Montreal Canadiens to collect four important points. Then they played one of their worst games of the season — and probably their worst game — on Saturday night in Toronto when they were crushed 7-0 by the Maple Leafs.
The good news is they get to return home for five of their next seven games, including each of the next two games this week. It will be a big week for two big reasons. Not only because the Penguins desperately need more wins to keep their season from getting away from them, but also because of who is paying them a visit.
