Just a little over two weeks ago the Pittsburgh Penguins’ season looked like it may have hit a turning point. A bad turning point.
They dropped a brutal game and important point in Philadelphia in the 2019 Stadium Series game when they lost a two-goal lead with three minutes to play, then lost in overtime after a tough night for starting goalie Matt Murray. The injury situation was starting to border on comical with Kris Letang and Brian Dumoulin both being lost in that game, Olli Maatta going out of the lineup before that, and then Bryan Rust and Chad Ruhwedel exiting the lineup after that.
