Well this is not the way to start a big week before the All-Star break.
With Monday’s 5-2 loss to the Arizona Coyotes in the books, the Pittsburgh Penguins have now lost four of their past five games and six of their past nine games overall. It is not only a slump that has seen some bad starts, bad finishes and disturbing overall play, it has completely undone and squandered more of the progress they had made after a strong finish to the month of December.
They are back down to 12th in the Eastern Conference in points percentage and currently on track for just 89 points.
