What has happened since we checked in on the Trending Penguins Players a week ago?
The Penguins played a strong game in Ottawa but could not break through offensively and ended up losing in overtime. They came back a couple of nights later and won in a shootout in New York thanks to a Derick Brassard goal in regulation and a Jake Guentzel winning-goal in the fourth round. With those two results, the Penguins were on a 6-2-3 run that had brought them back closer to a playoff spot. They were getting results, the underlying numbers were trending up, things were looking good!
