Just when things were starting to look really bleak for the they were able to get back-to-back wins on Tuesday and Wednesday by beating the Arizona Coyotes and then coming from behind against the Montreal Canadiens.
Were they most impressive wins? No. But they were wins. And the Penguins are in no position to apologize for winning by any means necessary or get caught up in style points.
Those are the types of teams they need to beat. They are the type of teams they have not always beaten over the past year-and-a-half.
The funny thing is that for all of their struggles they are still 4-2-3 over their past nine games, a record and pace that would come out to a 100-point pace over 82 games.
