Penguins still refining coach Mike Sullivan's up-tempo game

CALGARY, Alberta — From his net, Marc-Andre Fleury might have had one of the best views for the up-and-down game between the Penguins and Calgary Flames Monday night. Like just about everyone else in the Scotiabank Saddledome, he enjoyed what he saw — well, when he was not busy stopping pucks.

“I think they’re two fun teams to watch,” Fleury said. “Two teams that go on the offense, can create nice plays.”

Of course, Fleury is used to seeing that from the Penguins. One of the defining characteristics of the team since Mike Sullivan took over last season has been the up-tempo system he and his staff have tried to employ.
