Can Penguins take any lessons from Kings’ rebuild?
Charles LeClaire-Imagn ImagesThe Pittsburgh Penguins are hosting the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night, and it is going to be one of their toughest games of the first half of the season. The Kings are not only coming into the game having won seven of their past eight games, they are one of the league’s best teams for the season and featuring one of the most suffocating and smothering defenses in the NHL. Getting even a point out of this game will be a success for the Penguins.
The Kings are also fascinating to me because of how quickly they were able to cycle through a rebuild and return to relevance as a legitimate contender in the Western Conference.
