Even though Thursday’s game did not turn out well for them, things are finally starting to look better for the Pittsburgh Penguins this season.
Before dropping Thursday’s game to the Washington Capitals, the Penguins had won five out of their previous six games including three in a row to gain some significant ground in the East Division. Goaltending is better, players are starting to get healthy, and a couple of important players are starting to make the impact that is needed.
Even with all of that there are still some spots that need some work if the Penguins are going to have a chance to really make a run at another Stanley Cup this season.
