16 nationally televised games drives one major point home about the Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins may be in for a chaotic year, but neither that nor the fact that they've struggled to put a respectable product on the ice over the past three seasons deterred anyone from giving them an unprecedented 16 nationally televised games.

That ties them with the Minnesota Wild, Dallas Stars, New York Rangers, and Edmonton Oilers. Want more fun? They got one more game on national TV than the defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers.
