This Penguins team has proven capable of many things, and it did something noteworthy tonight.
It won its second game in a row.
Now, that might not sound like much, but the Penguins’ 5-3 victory against Detroit at PPG Paints Arena marked the first time since Nov. 5-8 that they have recorded consecutive victories.
They did it on the strength of a third-period surge, running off four goals to wipe out a 3-1 Red Wings lead.
The victory raised their record to 15-7-3 and keeps them two points behind the first-place New York Rangers in the Metropolitan Division.
