Mile High Hockey sat down with Pensburgh writer Kaitlyn Dividock to check in on the Pittsburgh Penguins ahead of tonight’s game. You can check out more of her work on Twitter at @kaitdivi .
1. What is the big difference between the Pens from a year ago and this season?
Kaitlyn: Depth definitely, and it’s been a glaring issue that’s plagued the Penguins all season. The guys they lost in offseason trades and free agency have basically crippled the bottom-six of the lineup. The most prominent part of that is how GM Jim Rutherford and Head Coach Mike Sullivan have been desperately trying to fill the gaps down the middle in third and fourth line centers – which I’m sure most people know by now.
