Early knee-jerk reactions on the Pittsburgh Penguins’ forward lines

Even though it has only been three games of the 2023-24 season we have still seen some interesting developments with the Pittsburgh Penguins early line combinations.

Some that we expected.

Some that we hoped to see.

There are also still some that might be at least a little bit concerning.

Let’s start with the biggest development and the most encouraging. The top-six has been mostly outstanding. The Sidney Crosby line had a tough night against the Chicago Blackhawks in the season opener, but it was pretty clear based on the reputation of that trio it was probably just a small blip on the radar and not anything to be overly concerned about, They responded in a big way the next two games.
