Kovacevic: No one's seized the Penguins' 'opportunity' like Rodrigues

Tristan Jarry's been the Penguins' MVP to date. And yeah, I felt that way even before he finally prevailed in a shootout, shooing away the Panthers, 3-2, on this Thursday night at PPG Paints Arena.

Jeff Carter's been so, so much more than anyone could've expected upon his arrival. And yeah, I felt that way well before he'd skated circles around everyone for three full hours, then reaped a just reward with the shootout winner.

Kris Letang's the lone remaining Core piece, and he's performed at nothing less than the bar he'd long ago set for himself.
