Penguins Snap Skid, Crown Kings, 5-2
The Penguins halted their four-game losing streak last night with a 5-2 victory over the Kings at Crypto.com Arena.
Prior to the contest, black-and-gold skipper Dan Muse made a couple of key adjustments. He elevated Evgeni Malkin to the top line beside Sidney Crosby, in essence reforming the “Two-Headed Monster” of yore, and bumped Tommy Novak down to the second line.
Both units responded with big games.
On defense, he plugged reliable Spencer Stastney back into the top pairing next to Erik Karlsson and dropped Sam Girard to the second tandem beside Kaedan Korczak.
