The Pittsburgh Penguins were 6-5 winners on Tuesday night thanks in large part to two-goal efforts from Sidney Crosby — who has been remarkable the past two games in going head-to-head against Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid — Patric Hornqvist, and ... *checks notes again* ... Jamie Oleksiak? What the hell?
They needed those great individual efforts offensively, and especially Crosby’s, to get the win because they once again looked like a team that either has no interest in playing defense or no concept on how to play defense.
