Best three/worst three areas on the Penguins
Photo by Jonathan Kozub/NHLI via Getty ImagesWelcome to best three/worst three, where we point out three areas or individuals that are clicking well at the moment for the Penguins, and three other areas that are struggling.
Best: Old guys rule
—Lars Eller already has more multi-goal games in 2024-25 than he did last season. Evgeni Malkin was off to a better start than anyone in the league at one point, and remains among the early-season scoring leaders. Kevin Hayes is tied for the team-lead in goals. The Penguins are an old team, but it’s helpful that their old players are actually pretty darn good still.
Worst: Scratching a $5.375 million goalie
