On The Penguins: Rescheduled game might be short-term blessing
Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin, right, said improving performance in the second game of back-to-backs is an area of focus for the team.There are a lot of downsides to the Penguins’ game in Washington this afternoon being postponed because of the winter storm that has savaged the District of Columbia.
The most obvious is that, with no makeup date readily available, the league will have to find a way to shoehorn the game into its schedule sometime in the next two-plus months.
But there also is one benefit, at least temporarily, for the Penguins in having the game today postponed, and it’s not the eliminated threat of having to take dogsleds to get to the arena.
