Circle next Monday’s game, at home against the Philadelphia Flyers.
No, seriously.
It’s been eclipse-level rare this season.
With so much talk about the front-loaded portion of the Penguins schedule — the back-to-backs, the road games, how many times they’ve played three times in four nights — something may have gotten lost in the sauce.
They’ve played virtually no division games. Just three. Have won both.
Meanwhile, Wednesday night against the Vancouver Canucks at PPG Paints Arena will represent the 14th game the Penguins have played against the Western Conference. The Penguins, of course, are not actually in the Western Conference.
