Playing the right way.
It’s one of coach Mike Sullivan’s favorite sayings. Following a string of shoddy efforts that would’ve embarrassed a pee-wee team, the Penguins responded the right way yesterday. Backed by a flawless 27-save bounce-back performance from Tristan Jarry, the Pens snapped an ugly three-game slide and beat back the Rangers in a taut, playoff style contest. Proving our guys can play a more disciplined game if they set their minds to it.
The game didn’t start all that well for the black and gold. Eight-seven ticks in, Rangers forward Dryden Hunt broke in on Jarry, forcing the Pens’ netminder to make a huge stop out of the gate.
