At even strength, things haven’t gone super-smooth for the high-flying Pittsburgh Penguins. A quick overview:
With all that talent, only 6.3 percent of their even strength shots are going in, well below their success rate just a season ago. Only five teams in the league have a lower shooting percentage, and none of them have Pittsburgh’s firepower. With that, the Penguins find themselves in the bottom third of the league in even strength goals for per 60 minutes.
Matt Murray was excellent on Tuesday night, but overall, their expected-to-be-very-good goaltending has been abysmal. The worst in the league, actually.
