These guys have played hockey for most of their lives.
They've played it for fun.
They've played it for money.
But the Penguins haven't played it in two weeks -- not in an actual game setting, anyway -- which injects an element of uncertainty into their meeting with the Sharks Sunday at 1:08 p.m. at PPG Paints Arena.
While it's not unusual for individuals to sit out a couple of weeks, or even a lot more, because of an injury, it only happens to an entire team when there's an Olympic break.
Or, it turns out, a pandemic.
