All things considered the Pittsburgh Penguins have plenty of reason to feel encouraged about this recent two-game road trip. They went into Colorado with a shorthanded roster and not only beat the defending Stanley Cup champions (and a team that has been white hot for a few weeks now), but significantly outplayed them.
It was an absolutely massive two points in the playoff race, especially after dropping two points against the Ottawa Senators, and a result that not many people gave them a chance to get. It was arguably the win of the year.
