It wasn’t long ago that the Penguins had hardly a shred of home-ice advantage.
Not anymore.
Now the Penguins are clobbering teams at PPG Paints Arena. It has become a difficult place to play for opposing teams.
The Penguins have the best home record in the NHL, and their 18 wins are three more than anyone else.
Their 6-2 win Sunday against the Tampa Bay Lightning stretched their point streak at home to 12 games, in which they’re 11-0-1. Including playoffs, the Penguins are 45-10-4 in their past 59 home games and have won five in a row at PPG Paints Arena.
