Our Penguins are on-again, off-again. Just like a light switch. Or binary code, if you prefer. Have been throughout this star-crossed campaign.
Last night before a below-capacity throng of 17,482 at PPG Paints Arena, our guys were…mercifully…on again. They overcame an undisciplined start and a gritty, determined Nashville squad to prevail, 2-0, thanks to some clutch scoring and a sparkling…and much needed…return to form by Tristan Jarry.
It looked for a time as if it’d be another one of those nights as Jake Guentzel and Pierre-Olivier Joseph took a pair of early penalties almost back-to-back.
