It’s taken 24 games and over a quarter of the season. But as the calendar turned into December, our Penguins may have finally forged an identity.
Down 2-0 early last night against a very tough Vegas team, our guys simply refused to lose. We outskated, outhustled, outworked…pretty much outeverythinged the Golden Knights en route to an inspired 4-3 victory at PPG Paints Arena.
Despite the early deficit, the Pens skated with intensity, purpose and passion for a full 60 minutes. The forward lines clicked, the defensive pairings were solid and balanced. We got big-time goaltending from Tristan Jarry, who made critical saves at crucial moments.
