NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The experiment was, in some ways, an unqualified success.
Mike Sullivan reconfigured his top two lines for the Penguins' game against the Predators at Bridgestone Arena Tuesday night, with the goal of restoring some offensive balance.
It worked.
Just not necessarily in the way Sullivan had hoped.
By the end of what became a 4-1 loss to Nashville, most of his forward units made similar contributions to the offense.
Which is to say, very few.
At least contributions of the kind that register on the scoreboard.
