The Pittsburgh Penguins didn’t have their best fastball this week but still managed to come out of it by collecting four out of possible six points. Given the position they are in, just simply trying to secure a playoff spot and hold off the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes, they are really not in a position to apologize for how they collect the points right now.
In a lot of ways, the process in how you get the points matters in the big picture, especially when it comes to evaluating whether or not you are a true Stanley Cup contenders.
